The driver was from North Potomac/Gaithersburg. Not that wealthy of an area by DCUM standards.

By DCUM standards? By DCUM standards, I'm a poor, and my household income puts me in the top 10% in the US.

My point was its not a wealthy area implied by the poster saying he was from Potomac. It's not a "wealthy" area. It is also not a poor area, but somewhere in between.

It's not one of the wealthiest areas in Montgomery County, but it's still a wealthy area.

No average income family would ever have the financial resources to keep their kid out of jail, in these circumstances.
Everyone knows the obvious.

You are making huge generalizations. Give them time to get the toxicology reports back!
This area is solidly middle class, even by DCUM standards. Do half of you even know where it is?

Why do people keep posting making the assumption that the people involved have "big money" or are "rich"?

Presumably because they live in Potomac. It's a reasonable assumption. There are not many poor people living in Potomac.

Not everyone in Potomac is rich and it is not reasonable to assume living in Potomac means your are rich.

I don't know the families involved in the accident, but I know many people who live in Potomac and while some are extremely wealthy, the majority are not rich. Many are still struggling from layoffs from 2008 recession, many live in very moderate homes in very moderate neighborhoods, some are single parents struggling to pay bills, some kids work to pay their cell phone, car and insurance bills, some live in subsidized housing, and some are house poor.

Point is -- your perception of Potomac is quite wrong.

5% of students at Wootton HS are on FARMS. 1 student in 20.

So Wooton is 95% rich and 5% poor, no middle class?

Re-read, please.

However, at least in Montgomery County, neighborhoods with almost no poor people typically are rich, not middle-class (although the rich people may consider themselves middle-class, rather than rich).

Gaithersburg and Potomac are basically the same now. He is not poor. Why do you want to insist he is poor?

You are completely off your rocker if you are trying to say the 4 kids in this situation were paying their own cell phone bills and car insurance.

Clearly you don't know anything about this particular area.

I don't want to insist he's poor. I don't know. Unless you have access to his personal finances, neither do you. Point is - huge generalizations are being made.

Yes, I do. Gaithersburg ... cough.. I mean N. Potomac touches Potomac, of course those faint of heart call the area they live in Darnestown to feel better about their zip code. Yes, the portion of MoCo that these children live is Gaithersburg but they say Darnestown.... and their homes are about $800K... and they are right near Whitman so maybe that makes you fell a little bit sad about your situation. Move along! You are not convincing anybody these kids are poor.
