A Black Florida teenager who says she was bullied for months by classmates was falsely accused of threatening her school and then wrongly detained at a juvenile detention facility for 11 days, according to her family and attorney.
In November, Whims began talking with a Renaissance Charter School student on Instagram about the bullying. The suit identifies the second teen as M.S. Pembroke Pines police began investigating what led to the lockdown and were allegedly told by M.S. that Whims had sent messages threatening the school, the lawsuit says.
“Failure to promptly investigate this easily discoverable information by the Pembroke Pines Police Department caused to remain in a juvenile detention facility away from her family for eleven days," the suit states.on Feb. 10, police said Whims had been exonerated of the charges. The department said the family initially did not cooperate with police in the early stages of the investigation.
In January, police learned that the messages were sent by a 12-year-old girl at the school who"viciously impersonated" Whims, the police statement says. Authorities said the 12-year-old sent threatening messages to multiple students to"frame" Whims.
