Durham, N.C. — The Durham girl who was reportedly kidnapped at gunpoint Friday and later found has now been charged with delaying, resisting and obstructing a police investigation.

Durham Police located Natalie Sanchez Fernandez, 15, Friday night about 9:15 p.m. and later learned she was never actually abducted.

Her sisters, Veronica Sanchez Fernandez and Lady Sanchez Fernandez, and a male, Carlos Argueqa-Guezare, lied to police to cover for the girl, according to a police.

Both Fernandez sisters have been charged with filing a false police report. Argueqa-Guezare was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to police.

"Durham Police wants to thank everyone for your calls and assistance which allowed us to resolve this situation," police said in a news release Saturday.

Police had posted an Amber Alert for the girl on Friday after they were told she had been kidnapped at gunpoint from her school bus stop.

i know that the court system should do its job but as you said(tharringtonherman -at- yahoo -dot- com) kids will be kids. and sometimes they make mistakes but that doesnt matter? it does matter. on the fact the kids did lie to cover up for the girl is wrong and she knows it was wrong but why did they have to go and blame the parents for what she did. and i dont agree with jail time. she should just apologize. she is too young to serve time in jail. but there are always consequences for peoples actions no matter how big/small the crime or act may be.

Indians migrated here from Asia, presumably. Who was here before them and what happened to those people? The fossil record is slim but it bears investigating, especially by those who claim special status for Indians.

Also, is "Mexican" a race? I have been to Mexico, and just like here, there is a great deal of variation in how the people look. So, before slinging the word "racist" around, one might want to contemplate what one is truly trying to communicate.

Further, it might be a good thing to think about what makes a country. A language? A common set of beliefs and ideas? A strong border? Perhaps any or all of those things, perhaps none of them. The United States is an ongoing experiment. Time will tell what the outcome is.

Why does everone keep sayng kids will be kids? Responsibility! Doesn't matter where they are from, there are laws that have to be followed. Being young or from another country doesn't excuse the fact that a law was broken. Let the court system do its job.

She and all the others involved should have to make financial restitution to the state and serve some jail time.
