In reply to the discussion: Texas 'affluenza' teen detained in Mexico: CNN [View all]joshcryer
(62,536 posts)6. Well he ran because of the video of him playing drinking games.
The lawyers could've got him off on that and they could've worked with the probation officer but the kid decided bailing would be the smarter decision.
