I don't think there are any age-related excuses for this girl.
She didn't stop at a "fib' to avoid trouble. Sure, her tale wasn't as tall as claiming she'd been abducted by Mexicans (effin' username -haha), but she spun a web that ultimately reached the max height of immorality.
I can understand a teen lying at first like she did; hoping to avoid repercussions and make the whole thing go away. But, she watched as her self-serving deception instead spread like a wildfire and wrongly put many others in the line of fire - to the point of people protesting on her behalf, hailing her as a heroic victim, donating money to her righteous cause, ponying up free legal services to the supposed good girl done wrong...
The girl's a hot mess and a scammer, IMO. I told some self serving lies as an edgy and rather apathetic teen. Still, guilt would have overcome me and I'd have confessed long before she did.
Ah well, bright side: maybe being exposed at this early an age will give her and the adults who love her the opportunity to get her some help while she's young enough for it to matter.
