Cops Face Blame After Teen Girls Die Trying To Steal Car, Police Come Back With Priceless Response

Tragedy Unfolds as Teens Drown in Stolen Car: Families Question Rescue Efforts

Disturbing dashcam footage recently surfaced, shedding light on the tragic incident from April 2016 involving three Florida teens who stole a car, leading to a fatal plunge into a pond. The families of the deceased girls, aged 15 and 16, are now questioning the response of authorities depicted in the footage.

“We are in the process of reviewing everything,” says Will Anderson, the teens’ lawyer, expressing concerns about a perceived rush to judgment and a potential smear campaign against the girls. Sheriff Bob Gualtieri defended his deputies’ actions, asserting they followed protocol, emphasizing the challenging conditions of the “thick with sludge” pond.

The released dashcam clip captures deputies discussing the submerged vehicle. Despite uncertainties in the video, Gualtieri maintains his officers’ efforts to rescue the teens. However, attorney Michele Whitfield points to lingering questions and a need for further transparency.

The tragedy has sparked debates online, with some readers blaming the girls for recklessness, while others argue that parents and society share responsibility for such incidents.
