The "Affluenza Teen"

this is why they say " money talk and bulls-it walks this guy deserve the full length of the law . just google the story and all the mother are responsible for is aiding and abetting a criminal she should be charged for helping him , but for killing those people 15 years for each death and another 10 for driving under the influence .

there are no price on another person's life but he will not live to get out anyway ,he ended four lives that day what about those died?

a good parent will let the child pay for his or her sins , i am a mother myself and i do love my kids but i put myself in those other parents and families shoes and its a sad one i will not protect my kids for such a wrong i will protect them with my life if in other danger that they didnt create .

there are kids without a mom or a dad a brother without his sister or his brother or a sister without his brother etc at least he will be alive in prison.
those who died didnt get a chance .

yes we must and because the kids know daddy or mommy will stand and protect they they think they are untouchable especially when they have a large bank account.

rich or poor no one life is more valuable than another .

exactly.

the mother should get sentence at least 10 years because she didnt kill those people but with her actions she may as well be driving .
supporting such an action by violating the boy's probation .
they are selfish people only thinking about themselves.
what about those death? dont thay have no remorse ?

I think the parents should be punished too...

I would not shield my son from the law if he committed such terrible crime. For him to be a better man and have a better future, he needs to respect himself, others and the law...and have to accept the consequences of his action.

As a parent, I will be the first to teach him how to do good and be away from bad influences...if he doesn't listen, I will be the first to punish him

well lindsyjones 4 death and 15 years each thats 60 and the 10 for driving under the influence thats 70 and he is what now ? he would dead before he comes out anyway and i should have added at hard labor too he should be made to work and not just sit and eat tax payers money, i think that would be discipline enough . i cant even begin to imagine those died and the love ones left behind .

welcome 1to1to1

what i dont like is why when a person steal no matter how great or small u are a thief but when u kill someone using a gun or a knife they call it murder but manslaughter when u hit someone with a car? death is death no matter how it happens and should be sentence as such.

Manang,

when I went to visit a friend, a decade ago...Yazan was just few months old. Some teenagers threw peebles and small stones at my friend's gate, some hit the window close to where Yazan was sleeping. I chased the ring leader all the way to his home, entered their home while his family were having tea. I was very angry and his parents gently asked me what happened, I told them what their son did, his father kicked the door in his room where he was hiding, dragged him out and beat him. That teenager was about 14 years old. The family apologized to me, went with me to the house of my friend and checked for any damages and heartily apologized to my friend and told us to let them know if we ever see their son hanging out with his others friends there again...that was the last time those teenager hanged out by my friend's street

yes i know but taking a life no matter the effort is the same to me each one of us deserve to live as long as we wee permitted by our creator and even though it was an accident i think its still murder.

well thats my views anyway ,
its just so sad when another person life is cut short by another especially so carelessly.

crazy heart thats good parenting on both sides i would have done the same never take up for a child when he or she is wrong.
but scold him and let him pay for his bad deeds in some ways because it begins right there.
later on that little stone throwing can become something else.
a seed doesnt stay a seed forever and a tree doesnt stay small forever eitehr.

I don't know about that case,but I have my own opinion about being a Parent and I think it was little more hard too,because I was a single Parent,with almost no support from their Mothers.

The Children that have lived with me,has the opinion,that I'm hard,but have a good heart....last Summer my Grandson had to face the same thing and even he is now 12 years old,he did with me a very big turnaround in his life....when I drive him to the Airport,when he was on the way back to Finland,he was questioning abut when he could have a chance to visit me again and I answered him,"why you want to come back,when I have been so hard with you"to what I got his answer,"I like that you was hard to me".

To my two Children,that have succeed extremely well,I told them already when they was 6-7 years old,that the only thing I give them in material way,is the money support for whatever education they want,but after that,they are on their own and when I die,the rest of my wealth are going to charity.....it was working perfectly,the other one has 3 different degrees,with 7 different languages and the other has 5 different degrees.

I never gave my Children a load of gifts and when other people came with them,I always took most of them and put them in storage.

My opinion is,that Children have to get Wings and they have to learn as small as possible to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their life,we parents has to be advisers,feeding them more with mental stuff,than with material and of course they have to feel,that we really Love them.....and real Love is not to give them all what they want,real Love is,to prepare them for the life by them self and to get them to understand,that Life is never easy.....that is what my Grandson realize last summer too,when he was here and he said to me,"so I have to learn,that life is not only nice things,that it is more about responsibility and hard".
