He went from looking like a 16 year old to a 35 year old in 2 years. Ouch.

This kid was one of my psych professor's favorite stories in college. Had him for a few different courses and he absolutely howled on occasion over the "affluenza" defense in court. He went in more detail in childhood psychology concerning various parenting styles (Authoritarian, Permissive, Authoritative, and neglect/uninvolved) and how this case is how permissive parenting to the extreme can lead into this level of civil terror.

I’m about an hour and a half from Dallas. I remember this because my son had just been born. This was an absolute tragedy and I can’t believe his father never got any consequences either. Their defense is ridiculous. They shouldn’t of had any treatment different from that of an average person. I really hope he eventually got what was coming to him. Those for people trying to help did not deserve to have their lives taken. Also, how the heck was he awake to do any of that?

He should been charged as an adult and his punk ass serve life in prison. Leniency on crooks only lets them commit more crimes and it has been proven over and over and over again. If he didn’t understand “punishment” 50 years in prison will let him think on it for a while - I bet he understands when he gets out of prison at 75

They likely view themselves as superior to 'common folk', so when one of their own accidentally commits manslaughter, it's viewed as little more than having killed some animals on the road. People like that just don't see it as a big deal.

Who ever decided the Afluinza defense, should be taken to the farm up north. With the kid. Killing 4 innocent people should result in life in prison.

I remember hearing about this when it happened and I was attending a private school at the time or had just graduated can't recall. It was a point of discussion among our school because we knew kids like that. Had all the money in the world, would often push the crazy too far and end up in the watch house overnight. Next day back to being a crazy person. Wrap sheet as long as your arm yet they always seemed to land on their feet. There was a very famous case here in Australia where a teen got off when he was speeding in a very modified rx7 Mazda..... He was traveling at very high speed and the road was a dead end. He launched the car into the air off the berm at the end.. killed 3 people and almost himself. He got off with a slap on the wrist because his defence proved the road sign that indicated it was a dead end was knocked over and he didn't know it was a dead end. We couldn't believe it and we knew the kid, he was a nut case behind the wheel and we all knew it. He went to a school that was a very expensive private school in the city. Money for sure has an impact on the justice system which is a real shame. The fact a jury believed that afluenza bullshit is mental to me. Just because he was raised with 0 disapline doesn't give him the right to take a life. Money doesn't equate to being clueless.

My issue with the whole “affluenza” thing is that saying the kid never faced consequences for his poor behavior previously means he shouldn’t be held to the same standards as those that had? I don’t care if he’s 16 or 45, if he’s never faced a consequence due to privilege and then kills four people by being a reckless, inconsiderate idiot, then it’s time he face a consequence. The whole theory is that his lack of discipline and authority figure lead to him killing these people, so their response is to not discipline him or highlight authority in society with a justice system who will hold you accountable? So how about next time the guy drives drunk and hits four people, “he didn’t face a consequence for the first time he killed innocents drinking and driving, therefore he shouldn’t now” What a system. Eat the rich.

I was in school when this case was happening too and thought Couch was very similar to one of my rich classmates. That classmate ended up crashing his car and his parents just bought him a new one. Then a year later he crashed it again. Parents just kept buying him stuff and he just kept abusing drugs and alcohol and wrecking the cars. Well one day he died from OD on all the drugs and litterally none of us kids were suprized. His parents were suprized, which makes no sense because it was clearly obvious to all is kids that he was eventually going to die if he kept spending all the parents money on booze, drugs, and cars.

It’s so frustrating that saying he’s too rich to know better, then his money being used to get him out of consequences, teaches him literally nothing. It’s disgusting.

Does Affluenza have a condition that is it's complete opposite? You know, too poor? Cause probably that has been affecting youths that grow up in extreme poverty and turn to crime, but they probably wouldn't get therapy resorts for rehabilitation.

Exactly. I would love to see the expression on his stupid face when he realizes that without family money his life will be a series of increasingly miserable experiences that will culminate with him living in a box on the side of the road, where some local cops stop in to beat the life out of him for kicks (after all, homeless folks can't fight back legally, which is why cops take out their aggression on them specifically), poetic justice as straight as a razor.

There's some people in this world so beneath contempt so spoiled and so entitled that I can never truly feel pity for them no matter what may happen to them.

I don't believe these people will ever have an epiphany but if they do it would be all the better for them and hopefully the rest of the world but I won't hold my breath.

I had heard that the reason a judge would let this fly was actually to try to get a much much harsher sentence later on. If he hadn't, the kid would have gotten a light sentence anyway due to him being a juvenile. However the judge KNOWS the kid will absolutely violate that 10 year probation when he's an adult and itl be at the time the full hammer of justice would drop. Its a legal tactic by the judge to try to get this guy more time when his hands are tied by the fact he's a juvenile. Its a gamble by the judge, but to be fair, you had to know this kid would certainly violate that probation. Of course, no idea why he only got 2 years of jail once he did. Shame.

Well, that's all the more reason to make sure that you wait until you're beyond rich to have children if you're going to.

The legal system is a crock of shit. Juvie is a literal joke and these so called “kids” need to be treated like adults. Yes, I do agree that minors should be split from actual adults, but they don’t deserve to get less harsh punishments.

It's incredibly upsetting that after all the disaster this kid has caused, he'll only get 2 years. If this story doesn't say that wealth leads to corruption I don't know what will. At least we now know their reputation will forever be tarnished with all these incidents piled up, but justice has yet to be fully served to this family...

I wish I could say that I’m amazed that the parents were never held responsible in any real way for the numerous crimes they committed throughout Ethan’s childhood. That does not absolve Ethan in any way- he showed no real remorse for the terrible things that he did. He clearly was just saying and doing whatever he needed to in order to avoid a serious punishment. I’m so sad thinking about all the people who were killed or injured senselessly. It must have felt awful for the victims and their families to be denied proper justice. I also feel bad for all the kids who weren’t rich, or white, who couldn’t afford a team of lawyers and committed non violent crimes. all the kids who didn’t get a slap on the wrist but instead were “made an example of” or punished more harshly for whatever reason. the system is beyond broken.

So now we know how many crimes you can get away with if you're rich. You may commit affluenza number of crimes before the system starts treating you fairly if you're rich.

Affluenza is literally the dumbest reason to let someone free aside from double-jeopardy. If anything it means they have reason to receive at least double the punishment.

It's like when you get too rich human life stops having any value.

"he doesn't know that his actions have consequences, so let's keep that going, by not punishing him for what he did and somehow that will teach him"

Not gonna lie, I thought "affluenza" was synonymous with "influenza" when hearing about this was a kid. But why couldn't the parents get any jail time anyway? And since seems like a generational thing, why not arrest the grandparents too?

"Hey man, my name is Ethan. I can get you out of all of this..." That single witness testimony completely obliterates the affluenza defense. The kid KNEW he had crossed lines, and understood that he had done so before without consequence.

RIP to the victims. I’m so sorry for your losses.

Or someone just slipped that judge a hefty "donation" to just ignore how the world works. Smh. They just added to the kids affluenza. Morons. He'll never understand the consequences of his actions if no one ever gives him any consequences. 🙄

I got arrested for a .2 of marijuana at 16 years old in Massachusetts, charged as an adult, put on adult probation, sent to a "teen rehabilitation school" where horrific abuses occured, and came back to Massachusetts at the age of 17, homeless, and with no assistance from anyone and no understanding of how the world worked.
