This.
That said, I think what she did is more serious than some are acknowledging. Remember, black women in the U.S. have a hard time getting coverage when they go missing (so do black men, but we can already chalk that up to being a lost cause). This was one of the first times in a long time a black woman got national coverage, and it turned out to be a hoax. That's damaging to efforts to get equal treatment in these circumstances.
Lock her up!

Faking an amber alert is pretty messed up

lol @ people scoffing at community service like any of ya'll are trying to spend 200 hours working at a soup kitchen or picking up trash along the side of the road.
I had community service. That shit was terrible but before I was done with my hours i was back to doing what got me there.

Your commitment to fuck shit is impressive. lol I don't like being forced to do shit, so maybe that punishment seems harsher to me than some others.
Hey! I was young!

200 hours raking leaves and picking up trash at her local park ain’t gonna make up for plotting an elaborate self kidnapping and amber alert. Sorry

Why y'all think that's the only type of community service? That's usually for people with unpaid traffic tickets. They could make her serve at a battered women's or homeless shelter. That shit eye opening

And don't forget the counseling part, she definitely needs that.
How so? How would you like your child to be held accountable?
Her going to jail, county, etc just creates a criminal record.
She learns nothing of value or probably learns something opposite of what y'all thinking her going to jail will provide.
Counseling counseling and more counseling is what she needs.
Not every person deserves to be locked up over a dumb decision.
It can't be in one discussion, black women are ignored by law enforcement then it's throw this black girl in jail the next discussion.
After Sandra bland and countless others, I do not want the police involved in any discipline to a child of mine

What is the proper punishment for something like that? I'm pretty sure it wasn't her intent to create a national incident. It just turned into that because of the world we live in. Nobody was physically or economically hurt by what she did. If the police or other agencies expended a lot of resources, then make sure her community service hours match up to the amount of work that equal out to the resource expenditure. How is that not a suitable punishment?

Im still trying to see who said she should go to jail. My bad, ive only been skimming the thread, but the worst I've seen so far is probation and/or community service, which I agree with.
You say no police will discipline your child. So who else will? Serious question, how you gonna discipline your grown child who has their own money and is independent?
Police don't deter crime, so let's start there.
I don't have all the answers but I know for a fact a police department don't have em either
But I'm speaking specifically to this instance. I do not believe the punishment should be jail.

I haven’t said she should be locked up even tho I feel like small jail time would be justifiable in my opinion. But there’s no kind of community service that justifies the crime. She planned this whole thing out, made up a missing child and more ultimately to get attention (cause of a breakup allegedly)
That’s narcissistic and selfish behavior and I don’t see how any community service is a punishable option cause I don’t expect it to have enough of a profound effect on her which she truly takes accountability & gains a sense of inner healing. That’s just my 2 cents. You can say that jailing her isn’t gonna rehab her either and I’d say that’s a fair assessment also.

She needs to be scared straight!
