So, you are 14 years old, arrested for theft in Dallas, and give a false name that just happens to be the same name of someone wanted in Colombia. You don't even tell your defense attorney your real name and you end up getting deported to Bogota, where you wind up pregnant and posting on Facebook about how lonely and homesick you are. Your grandmother finds you from following the 'clues' you left on your Facebook page. Colombia does not want to send her back.
Please, Colombia, keep her. Sending her back would only lower the collective IQ of the Dallas area.
So, she has access to Facebook but apparently does not email anyone back home to tell them where she is. Far better to leave 'clues' on your Facebook page.
Let me be the first to say, I blame the schools. Dallas or Colombia, I am not sure which. ;/

In defense of the 14 year old girl, teenagers are generally a very stupid and unthinking bunch. (With outsize estimations of their own knowledge and prowess.)
Making such stupid moves at 14 is not necessarily indicative of irredeemable stupidity. If she were 21, I may agree.
14 year old? Yeah, let's get her back and hope she may have learned.

Linked story said she was deported a year ago, and is now pregnant . . .
. . . 14 year old? Yeah, let's get her back and hope she may have learned.
No, actually I'm with MillCreek:
Please, Colombia, keep her.

Yeah.
Actually, that might be a pretty smart way to get out of the USSA if you were desperate enough: no passport / no no-fly list / no airfare. :facepalm:

Yeah.

Yes, some can be. If you've run away (for a stupid or even a good reason) and you're scared and don't think you can go home because you messed up so bad, you can do some very stupid things. This is probably not the stupidest thing any such teenager has done. (Or could do.)
