My grandfather used to say that when a kid turns 16 his/her brain falls out their ass and they rarely find it until their early 20's. I was a moron when I was 19, drove too fast, drank too much and hadn't a care in the world. I would hate for my father (an amazing parent) to be judged by some of the stupid things I did as a teenager. This was a kid making a bad decision, no more, no less. Hardly an uncommon occurrence. Kids make bad decision and some turnout to be fatal....that is life. No amount of reasonable legislation would change that.
