This week a 16-year-old, Ethan Couch, was drunk driving and got into a crash that killed 4 people. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The parents are part to blame, said the police, they never gave the boy limits and instead, gave him everything he wanted and let him do what he wanted to do. The four people were on the side of the road, helping someone with a car that had broken down. His blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit; .24.
He ended up with no jail time, although he could face up to 10 years if he violates the terms of the probation. The victims' parents were shocked with the judges decision and said that he basically got away with murder.
