Texas "Affluenza" kid.....

Watching the 20/20 special on this kid and his family...  If you don't remember his name is Ethan Couch, 16 year old who drove drunk and killed 4 people and injured others and got out of jail time by a judge who gave him 10 years probation because of the "affluenza" that was made up by a psychiatrist.   The parents are unreal....  never disciplined the kid for anything... allowed him to drive at 13...  Let him have his own 4000 sq ft party house, no rules at all.   Mother is clueless and the father is an arrogant cocksucker.    Hope they all end up burning in hell

Welcome to Texas.

His own frat party house? Must be nice to be rich.

Don't you mean "Welcome to being rich, privileged & above the law"? Doesn't matter which state it is.,,

Now the kid is the subject of a man hunt as they think he fled the country with his mom after failing to report to his P.O.

I read there was a picture of him at a party with alcohol, which would probably violate his probation and send him to jail.

this story is nuts.  i saw on the news that the feds are looking for this kid.  i have no idea how the feds would get involved in something lkike this but it'll be interesting to see how this one ends. 

The Feds are hunting a 'little kid' "probation violator"  and his mommy...and daddy's worth $40m

Yes ClubDirt, this should be interesting, especially to see how long it takes to apprehend this Ma Barker, and her Cisco the kid son

Oh, Nay-Nay.

I meant arrogant and pompous Texas prick. 

That judge should be disbarred. Horrible miscarriage of justice. They should examine his bank accounts and find out if there has been any substantial "gifts" recently given to him.

Hey Hey! They caught that little pr!ck and his See-You-Next-Tuesday B!tch of a mom in Mexico. Hopefully the definition of "Affluenza" is changed to mean "Widening Of The Sphincter Hole"

I guarantee you that judge got paid.

We live in a 99% corrupt world 9698. It's a sad fact but having morals or integrity have been removed from our society. Look at the people around you, everyone wants to look like a pirate instead of a respectable human being... Have you heard the term "lady-like" in the last 20 years? If you asked the typical 20 year old female what it means they wouldn't have a clue... They'd probably say that lady-like means all their tattoos are hidden...

The news was saying the max he will do is 120 days 

who the darn knows how they do things in texas but i assume he was a minor when he committed the crime so he's likely governed by the rules in juvenile court.  i think they can bring him to adult court now, but he still may get the benefit of being a juvenile at the time of the crime, meaning there is only so much they can do to him. 

i would guess that 18 is an adult everywhere, but what matters is your age at the time of the crime.  but again, this is texas so who knows what kind of backwards rules they have
