is Callie one of the dumbest main characters in all of television?

No, why? She ran away from a guy who kidnapped her. Then she heared that her brother is in hospital and put this first. Then she went to police. Maybe it's possible to act smarter but dumb is a bit harsh. There is not guide to handle a kidnapping, an accident and a family tragedy simultaneous.

If she was an adult yes but she is still a teen so no she isn't that bad. At least she did make a call.

I haven't seen many TV characters who is as dumb, unwise, and is always in center of nearly every bad thing going on, as Callie.

What's worse, is that she is a very unlikable character. The writers think they are creating a character that people can sympathize with. I have none for someone who continuously plays the victim and has the heart of a true coward. That's Callie. Utterly pathetic.

Yes. Yes she is.

And her being a teenager has nothing to do with it. Just reckless and dumb.

She does a lot of dumb stuff that even I, as someone close to her age, would have to call her out on. I don't blame her for getting in the car or running for etc but I do
Blame her for signing anything without going through it with a parent or lawyer first, she just incriminated herself

The thing is Callie called 911 to where that guy never did.

911 has her call recorded to back her story up. He has nothing to back his.

The main problem I have with Callie isn't that she continually makes impulsive and idiotic decisions that have hurtful consequences for many people. My problem is that she never listens to people when they try to guide her away from making these idiotic decisions. She's very stubborn and always thinks she knows better than the more experienced and mature adults around her. As soon as she was brought into the station for questioning, she should have contacted one of her mothers or Brandon's dad and refused to answer any questions without one of them being present or a lawyer being provided. She is not new to the system, she knew better. It's this kind of hard headedness that frustrates me about the character.

I finally figured it out in the last few episodes. Callie is what someone written off as a "social justice warrior" would be like in real life if they actually followed through on their thoughts rather than just complained about them on social media, and she reaps the consequences of running headlong into righting every wrong without thinking things through first to see if they're really true. She'd be a lot of fun to be around in college.
