Did you ever think that a 16 year old kid can kill 4 people and injure 9? Well a boy named Ethan Couch did so in a little town in Texas.

Ethan’s parents weren't exactly the best parents in the world. “Irresponsible parenting had, strongly enabled, the accident. If Ethan’s parents weren't irresponsible it could have been a cause on Ethans behaviour of the cime. And so Ethan should be charged with mental health because of his choices before the crash”(Author’s Last
