Alexis Waller, 11, of Bryant, Arkansas stole $10,000 from her grandmother’s sock drawer and paid a cab driver $1300 to take her to Florida. All because she wanted to see a boy.
First of all, no. Second of all, how? Thirdly, NOPE! Fourthly, you’re grounded forever.
The cab company claims Alexis wore a lot of makeup, thus making herself look older than she was. Nevermind the fact a young girl asked them to drive to Florida, 800 miles away. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
“He didn’t really ask anything, he just asked me where I needed to go,” Alexis told KARK. “I said, ‘I need to go to Jacksonville, Florida’. He’s like, ‘do you have money’ and I’m like ‘yes’.”
The driver said the ride would cost about $2,500. Alexis gave him about $1,300 upfront, and promised the rest when they got to Florida.
Yeah, no red flags there. That cabbie’s an astute observer of human distress. Anyway, her parents got wind of what was going on (after talking to police) and picked her up nine hours later in Atlanta.
As for the boy she was going to see, well, the 16-year-old said they had been talking for two years after meeting on vacation but knew nothing of her great escape. All in all, I think the moral of the story here is pretty simple. Teenagers (and in this case, pre-teens) are stupid human beings.

My grandma’s sock drawer only had KY and a steam powered dildo in it

Is anyone else a little weirded out that he was 16. That means she was 9 when they met this might be really creepy
And he would have been 14. I mean what, are you gonna make a 14 year old a pedophile now or what are you trying for?
@rapax – I was not into 9 year olds when I was 14. Thats a pretty big developmental difference around those ages
Your first problem is immediately sexualizing it, which there is no basis for. The second is to transfer your own experiences, because of course no 14 year old could be friends or pen pals with a 9 year old because dissident wasn’t into 9 year olds at that age. Great argumentation there.
Agreed, whether 16 and 11 or 14 and 9 that seems pretty pervy.
Just think 8 and 3, it’s gross on both sides.
It could also be a situation where she had a crush at 9 and it grew into infatuation at this point. Maybe why he didn’t know about it.
@Rapax – bro, for 14 year old boys everything is sexualized.
What the hell was the cab driver thinking? An 11 year old asks him to drive across the country and he’s like ‘yeah sure’
The taxi driver’s name is Humbert Humbert.
Nice reference.
Was hoping it was Travis Bickle and that he had something for that boy as well…up his sleeve.

I happen to be in Florida at the moment and I can see their side of the story; little girl really wanted to see Mickey for a ride on magic mountain but denied by Scrooge McDuck.
thats great she is in arkasnsas not in asia … ir she might go through this : [bit.ly]
I think the real story is somebody in Arkansas has $10k in savings. You can buy 4 houses with that much money.
she doesn’t look 11 …no fkn way!
