Why did you let your son ride with him?
Rich kids
Teens and sports cars are like coke and menthos
Well yes, the mom and the kid should be charged, but also…. teach your kids to not get in the car with kids who drive like that. ๐ข
If this was 2015 the family would have used affluenza as an alibi
Bro speeding in the V8 Cadillac wagon
we have to stop charging parents for their kids crimes. this is not what justice is. i dont see people wanting to imprison Biden for his sons crimes. his son still depends on Joe to live. i dont see people wanting to imprison the parents of all the criminals in the gangs in Chicago. if a kid breaks a window fine make the parent pay for it, but it the kid deletes somebody, we should not ever charge the parent. where does that end? do we charge he grandparents also? do we charge the babysitter that was watching the kid for 2 hours? ffs this isnt right.
This some WPS
My first comment didnโt fly!!!! So Iโll just say great parenting!
Just cause you got a driving license , it doesnt mean you can drive . Young people and fats cars dont mix .
how about YOU are responsible for YOUR kid constantly BEING allowed to DRIVE around with that KNOWN wild kid?..so that makes YOU responsible for what FINALLY happened to HIM!
Fast and furious in real life!
Parenting is none existent in America today.
Heartbraking story, but so predictable. Spoiled teen boy. Enabler parent(s). No consequences. Obvious signs this was going on for some time even though his mom had ordered him to stop. From what we see in the video, it seems there were no consequences for his irresponsible and risky behavior, since he was told over and over… It's terrible, but so obvious this would result in tragedy. I would have taken my kids license immediately if I found out he or she had been driving this fast, and and they wouldn't be driving for at least the next 12 months. At least. This kid showed he could not be trusted with driving, let alone a late model high powered car. He shouldn't have been driving ANYTHING. It was extremely negligent of the parents to allow him to continue abusing his driving privileges.
Is this guy related to mike tyson?
Oh so when a White kid does this they show his face and try the parents. But when its a blk kid , we must protect him because hes underage and was probsbly oppressed etc. Just wow.
Why do manufacturers make cars that go that fast
Put him AND the mom in jail. She's responsible for him and did literally nothing (even worse, she enabled him in the first place), and he's an idiot. Giving a teen a muscle car and telling them to "slow down" is like giving a toddler candy and telling them to "eat in moderation". It's not going to happen.
My parent's got me a hand-me-down 10 year old Camry when I turned 16 and I STILL drove like a fool in that thing. First speeding ticket and they were ready to take the keys. They also made me pay for my own insurance. After another ticket, nearly loosing my license, and my insurance payment going through the roof, I learned my lesson expeditiously.
Irresponsable parentingโฆ she should be hold accountable too.
Sure, then after the parents whipped his Butt they would have been charged with "Child abuse and neglect." BS, the teens know exactly what they are doing , I sure did at 14 and 16, and everyone knows it.
Bad driver.
Yes the mother should be held responsible for that. The passenger was taught to pick your friends who are not on bull ** . I never hung out with idiots or spoiled people. Their arrogant would clash with my common sense as a teen. My mother had common sense as well.
Gas pedal got stuck?
i dont feel bad.
Sad she told him week before n he still didnโt learn
