It all reminds me of the runaway bride case from 2005. A woman didn't have the nerve to face her fiance and say she didn't want to get married, so she faked her own kidnapping.
The memorable thing of that incident back in the day was that a cop tossed a crocheted afghan over the bride's head while they escorted her to a police car.

That lady was a nut too, but a big difference is that that was pre social media. Or at least right on the cusp of internet viral stories. When that lady ran away, she was doing it just to avoid getting married. But she didn’t intend for the story to get big. And in 2005, it was reasonable to assume that your own private stories would stay private. Carlee Russell was googling about wanting to get amber alerts. She called the police. She wanted the story to get a ton of publicity. Maybe not to the full level she got, but in CRs case, the publicity was the point of the story, to make her ex jealous.

Here is an image from 2005 of the runaway bride from 2005 with the blanket over her head:

Good points about the publicity seemed to be a great deal of the objective for Carlee Russell.

Russell was charged with two class A misdemeanors that are each punishable with up to one year in prison -- false reporting to law enforcement authorities and falsely reporting an incident

Misdemeanors, eh. Doubtful she'll get prison time, but hope she has to do a lot of community service.

Back then, people weren't putting their personal lives and pictures on Tik Tok and Instagram.

Carlee seems to care greatly about her image, so hopefully the embarrassment is punishment too.

The mark on her record will lead to the story and ensure she won't be employed, people like her should be shamed

Is that what you want, that everyone who commits a crime should be forced to be a criminal forever, just to survive?

DP. Nobody forced her to commit her ridiculous crime. I'm fine with her suffering the consequences for her own stupidity and a job going to someone who may be more trustworthy and in greater need.

Mob mentality is murderous. You should all calm down. She hasn’t killed anyone, she’s not a serial killer. A fine might be appropriate, if it’s legal to enforce one.

Clearly there’s mental confusion at best, or mental illness at worse. None of it deserves such scary threats and vitriol.

Some of you posters need to check yourselves.

^ I definitely agree, PP.

I also can’t help but think about that white woman who killed her three kids after husband left to go to the store. That thread was full of people saying she’s suffered enough by losing her kids and shouldn’t be further punished.

But does Carlee get the same grace (on DCUM) for her much lesser crime….? No.

GTFOH, you hypocrites.

I’m fine with her apology and some sort of community service working to find missing Black women.

“DCUM” is not a monolith. I think Carlee should get some small amount of jail time. No, sorry, “apology and some sort of community service” are not enough. She should also be responsible for reimbursing the many thousands of dollars used to “search” for her when she LIED.

I was also in the other discussion about the mom who killed her kids and said she should go to jail for a very long time, and I was FAR from alone. But hey, you tried it. Shrug.

What danger to society does se pose, that necessitates spending money to lock her up in prison, instead of working to pay restitution?

That's not responsive to the thread. The thread said "ensure she won't be employed".

Nobody can "ensure" someone won't be employed. Her name is already out there whether she does time or not. If someone wants to take a chance on her that's their right.
