wow, this is some good stuff. I expected otherwise before I watched it, but the broad almost scared me when i clicked the vid.
According to the video, the mom and dad thought their son was getting a little out of line so they got their kid busted at a party to teach him a lesson. (He was a high school senior).
He was a (1st time offender) but the judge threw the book at him.
The judge was convicted of taking bribes from private incarceration facilities to the tune of 2 million dollars over the years, but not specifically in the case of this young man.

At 5:16 is where she admits she and her husband knew people in the police dept to go undercover in an underage drinking party. She did it to put the scare in her son.
I would never have done what she did to her son by sending in undercover cops. Of course the kid is going to jail. And I do sense what this judge did was unreasonable punishment. True, this kid was of legal age. When a kid turns 18 they are an adult.
What I really sense is going on here is the mother is transferring the anger from her lack of responsibility as a parent unto the justice system which is not only unfair but to me shows, her lack of parenting skills. It sounds to me like the son did not have a strong father figure around. She feels she is a failure as a parent and to find out her son is drinking at some party has brought shame and embarrassment to the family. She is just as much responsible for the death of her son as the judge is because she admits to sending in those cops to put the “scare” in her son. Well, she scared her son to death and now she regrets it. Frankly, and I know this is cold to say, but she fulfilled her deed. And she will live to pay for it for the rest of her life! True, the judge is wrong. But she (and her husband) are just as much in the wrong!

I was hanging out in bars when I was 15 (and looked 12). I even ran into my parents at a bar during that time period.
I don't know a "normal" 17-18 year old male that hasn't had a few brewskis or gotten shit-faced. Parents should inform their children it's not a good idea but they shouldn't freak out about it either.
I don't know that we got the entire story about the young man in question either.
Having the kid arrested was stupid and I think your right about the lack of parenting skills.
If my kid would have called me from jail after being arrested at a party I'd simply bail him out and tell him how much it cost. (I wouldn't have been the one to call the cops either.)
I do not have any faith in our justice system at all. However, in this instance, I do side with the judge partly. And perhaps there is more to this story than of what this video relays.
I am an objective thinker. My heart does not bleed for this mother. It sounds to me like she had some marriage issues going on because she states on the video that she was not around her husband at the time. This 18 y.o. young man needed a strong father support and his drinking was a telltale sign this kid was crying out for help...not punishment. There are professional counseling services that meet the needs of teenage alcoholics. If the parents were truly sincere in trying to help their son this would not only have probably helped his self-esteem, but he'd still be alive today.

Yeah, I'd agree. The kid has to take some responsibility as well. It isn't like he was a 5 year old, at his age (18) I was in basic training. (Giving Uncle Sambo a chance to kill me).
I did appreciate the mom going off on the crooked judge ! Crooked judges deserve triple jeopardy since they operate from a position of trust. And a judge that takes graft for locking kids up that don't deserve it should be hung for violating minors.
