[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard from multiple people, that this kid was great influence on the community, and was not a speeder on the road he abided all the rules, there’s reason it’s called an accident and he’s not getting charged with attempted murder because what happened was not his fault. Some of you people need to take a better look at things then assume solely of the model of the car.  [/quote]

Well it appears that speeding was the cause of the accident- maybe we don’t know that yet? And he violated the rules by driving too many friends in his car.[/quote]
And every single one of us with a teen, I guarantee they have done something equally stupid at least one time, and most have the good luck not to have such a terrible consequence. People like to get really judgy around this stuff because it makes them think nothing bad will happen to them or to their kid because they control the situation. We have made a societal decision to let kids drive at an age when maybe they shouldn't, and with very lax enforcement of the rules that are supposed to make it safer. Maybe we should be thinking not that this is a terrible kid or family, but how our societal choice might not be correct.[/quote]

He might not have crashed his car if he had pulled over after the accident. Instead he sped off if the closest exit and lost control. Hit and run. I’d like to think my kid wouldn’t compound the issue by trying to beat a reckless driving drive by committing a hit and run.

That’s the character part and the most most disturbing. Driving a fancy car too fast, says I’m an invincible idiot, but hit and run… I’m a dark criminal.

Parents know when their kids have a lack of character and judgment or just haven’t reached a level of maturity to develop the character, honor and integrity to own up to mistakes and not compound them. Why you’d buy a kid like that an expensive high performance car I’ll never understand.

That kid shouldn’t have been allowed to get a license. Let alone be alone in car. Things of this magnitude, hit and run, don’t happen in a vacuum. [/quote]

What? Where did you hear it was a hit and run?[/quote]
