    A Texas teenager who was given probation after killing four people while driving drunk was arrested Monday evening, along with his mother, in the Mexican resort city of Puerto Vallarta, where they had fled to avoid a possible prison term for him, according to Mexican and American officials.

    The teenager, Ethan Couch, was shown leniency in the 2013 drunken-driving case after a psychologist testified that he had “affluenza,” or psychological problems stemming from his family’s wealth.
    People laugh at "affluenza", but they shouldn't. It's a real disease and a real problem. This young man is suffering badly from it, and because I care, I am going to do something extraordinary to help him: I am going to pray for him. We gots this covered.

    if he were a poor black, would he have gotten probation? probably SHOT on the spot for "resisting arrest"

    ok, but he suffers from Affluenza... it only affects people of affluent families.

    as a minor in TX, the most he can get is 120 days in jail for violating probation.
