11. I Don't Know

This kid was clearly totally out of control. If the police didn’t scare him, his mom certainly wouldn’t. I’m not sure there’s much that she could have done - except not buy him the BMW. I would imagine that she bought him the car to better protect him when he inevitably got into a crash. Unfortunately, that didn’t help his victim or anyone else around him. But the kid would have probably stolen a car or gotten his hands on one anyway.

I remember going to a seminar on kids with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Parents told horrendous stories about their out of control, dangerous kids. The parents desperately wanted to do something, but they didn’t know what they could do. It was horrifying and heartbreaking at the same time. Whether or not she is charged, I’m sure this mother is going through her own personal hell.
