I mean when a kid with a 16 year old brain gets behind a BMW 335i (for example), they can act totally differently. Not necessairily something the parents can see coming. I mean if he had like a record of wreckless driving sure, but unless I missed something I don't think that was the case.
Just my 2 cents

That is why I started my sentence with "
If they have a delinquent kid".
If its found that the kid is a delinquent then they should hold the parents partly responsible. You can prove delinquency through a juvi record of any kind, a history of bad actions as proven through eyewitness accounts, police reports, school records, etc. It doesnt have to be driving infractions that show a parent they have a delinquent kid on their hands.
If we hold parents more accountable for the actions of their kids then they might start parenting again. Something that has seemed to stop in recent years. We cant always shrug off responsibility just because the kid was young.
