http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/11/us/texas-teen-dwi-wreck/index.html(CNN) -- To the families of the victims, Ethan Couch was a killer on the road, a drunken teenage driver who caused a crash that left four people dead.To the defense, the youth is himself a victim -- of "affluenza," according to one psychologist -- the product of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits for the boy.To a judge, who sentenced Couch to 10 years' probation but no jail time, he's a defendant in need of treatment.The decision disappointed prosecutors and stunned victims' family members, who say they feel that Couch got off too easy. Prosecutors had asked for the maximum of 20 years behind bars.un-fucking-believable

Holy fucking shit. The story is surprising, but read more about this kid from other sources. He was a rich fuck who stole what he wanted, did what he wanted, and never had to reap any consequences for his spoiled ass entitled behavior. Now now does not have to serve any time, even after killing 4 people.

Would not the cure for "affluenza" be that the little punk reap the consequences of his actions like every other person of average income.

the judge should be ashamed of herself. And the doctor that testified on the defenses behalf need to seek mental help, along with the judge.
