In New Jersey on Sunday, as most of you had probably heard about, 16 year-old Kara Alongi, Tweeted for someone to call 9-11, because she thought there was someone in her. Someone did and when the police got there the door was open and her cell phone was on the floor. At first everyone thought that someone had came into the house and kidnapped her. But, on Tuesday she called the police and they found her at a service area on the Turnpike.
Here take a look at the article I read.

After reading this article and a couple others, it angered me that she would pretend that she was kidnapped and that they still haven't figured out what she was doing for the two days she was missing. And although this turned out not to be a violent crime, I still wanted to post about this.How do you feel about this case???
Kara Alongi should be held accountable for her outrageous misuse and abuse of the police system. This teen is old enough to know better. During these poor economic times, many police departments are forced to cut spending by laying off staff. When people like Kara and others pretend to be kidnapped or in other danger, they take precious police time away from other real crimes and real dangers. Essentially, Kara's actions may have robbed others of the help that they really needed. When the police manpower went towards Kara's fictitious kidnapping, real crimes were being committed and others were unprotected. She should be ashamed of herself.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Kara should be held responsible for her actions. She is old enough to know what she did was wrong and potentially dangerous to herself and others. She wasted much need money that emergency services cant be throwing around on Joke cases like this one. She had many people in Clark and New jersey looking for her and had #helpfindkara trending on twitter. Im not sure if this was a goal to get attention, but it of was she surely succeeded, it was one of the top talked about stories for a couple days. I hope she is charged or gets some type of punishment so she can truley learn her lesson because what she did was wrong.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way you do Hayley and Kerry.I was the #helpfindkara on twitter and also on instagram and even though I didn't know her i felt like I should help. I'm sure alot of people felt the same way and this was a stupid thing for her to do. Ecspecially since it took timeaway from the cases that might of needed more police and more time to solve.
