Found Safe FL - Caden Speight, 17, was found safe (after falsely reporting kidnapping)

He researched. He purchased escape items. He shot himsself. Obviously planned. He cost LE money and took time away from real cases.

Try this kid as an adult.

That's what I'm curious about, are they trying him as an adult or not? If not, will his parent's be held responsible for any monetary reimbursements?

At the conclusion of our investigation, a warrant was obtained for Speight’s arrest. He was ultimately placed under arrest and transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice.

He certainly made a valiant effort to make it look like he had been kidnapped. Too bad he didn’t think about the ramifications of shooting himself and what would happen next.

It was thought out and put into motion.

No doubt the kid has issues but he’s created a lot of serious issues for himself.

If he thought his life sucked before, it just got a whole lot worse.

OR.... or... maybe not. Social service work taught me that kids in bad situations sometimes do desperate things to get the help they need. We really don't know much of anything about his personal life except his parents have a farm and he worked on it.

We might question whether there is some racism or bigotry in his sphere since he had no qualms blaming a shooting & kidnapping on Hispanic folks but maybe he's just young, dumb, and thoughtless, and never realized innocent people could be torched for that.

The extent he went through to plan and set the kidnap scene is pretty amazing. According to info in this article, he even drew his own blood and sprayed it near the abandoned truck.

" Deputies said they also found a Gatorade bottle near Speight's abandoned vehicle that contained his blood, according to the affidavit. Authorities said they believe Speight put his own blood in the bottle and sprayed the blood near his abandoned truck, the affidavit states. Among Speight's recent ChatGPT searches were "how to take blood out of myself for medical purposes without it hurting," according to the affidavit."

I do think he should be tried as an adult.
