Florida police say an 11-year-old girl texted 911 to say her friend was abducted by a stranger in a white van. For the next 30 minutes, she gave updates on the supposed kidnapping. Deputies tracked the girl's phone and then went to her parent's house. To their surprise, when they confronted her, they realized she was just 11 years old. According to an arrest report, "She stated that she got the idea to prank 911 through a YouTube challenge and thought it would be funny."
