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 would have to disagree here. Logic dictates to me that it was the parents who initiated the cops to come into the party. Of course, underage kids busted by the cops will go to jail.
What the parents should have done is get their son some professional help. Too late now. Due diligence on the part of the parents is key here. And they played a big part in the negligence factor by failing to take an interest in their son's out of control behavior and associations with unsavory peers. It is the job of the parents to supervise the whereabouts of their children...not the courts! The judge was doing his job to prosecute this young man but I do not believe the punishment fitted the offense of this 18 y.o. What the judge should have done is two things:
1. Have the child seek professional help for underage drinking
2. Have the parents get professional help because it appears to be a big issue of negligence on their part that they now want to thrust onto the justice system. And then seek compensatory, maybe even comparative damages, and punitive damages through an attorney paid for by taxpayers for their own stupidity.
Instead, all I see on this video is this woman going ballistic on the judge when remember now...that it was she and her husband who got their son into jail in the first place.
