I've heard all this before. Just because a juvenile has been in trouble before parents are not required to keep him in their sight 100% of the time until he becomes an adult. That is the law. That is how the judge ruled.
Also your choice to get in a car with a person you know had been drinking and would be acting crazy because of the game changes everything. You can't claim the parents were negligent because they knew these things could possibly happen yet you were not also at fault because you knew these same things actually (not possibly) happened.
Yoy made a horrible decision and you paid for it. No one made you drink or get in that car. I feel sorry for you because almost everyone here has made bad decisions but did not suffer the consequences you did.
But if you really do believe in "personal responsibilty" you need to admit that you are to blame for your own decisions and stop trying to blame everyone else.
And i am done wirh this thread. You have made these same claims over and over again. No need to beat a dead horse.
