In my state, there is a traffic charge for allowing an unlicensed person to operate a vehicle. I don't know if that has been successfully extended to parents of permit drivers out past curfew, unauthorized passengers, etc., but that's all it should be on the parents. A traffic infraction.

The boy driving is at fault. His parents didn't kill the passengers.

Not sure that applies to allowing someone with a learner's permit to drive http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/nycode/VAT/V/20/511-a It doesn't sound like it but who knows


I'm not seeing it in there. Even if they did allow him out in violation of the permit terms, all they'd likely see is a trip to traffic court.

The article heading made it sound like the parents had done something heinous, but the kid needs to hang on his own. Mom and Dad weren't behind the wheel.

Prosecutors say Aaditia and Patricia Beer of Queens allowed their son Joseph to drive their 2012 Subaru on October 8 even though he only had a learner's permit.

Joseph Beer, who was in court Friday, was high on marijuana and going more than 110 mph on the Southern State Parkway when he lost control and crashed into the woods around 4:00 a.m.  

The Richmond Hills High School student was the only survivor while his passengers - Chris Khan, Peter Kanhai and Darian Ramnarine, all 18, and Neal Rajapa, 17 - were killed in the crash. All of the passengers were flung from the car. Joseph was taken to a hospital for minor injuries.

Looks like the charge carries a whole 15 days jail or $300 fine so whats the point? Its not a deterrent



Are they trying to give some sort of foundation for civil action ?
the kid is going up for motor vehicle homicide anyway
googled up a pic  figured it was a WRX as every other Subaru I have been around wouldn't do 110

In NY you are generally responsible for whatever someone does while driving your car anyway as long as they had your permission, assuming the car is registered to one or both of the parents.

 


So I could borrow Bloomberg's car and drive through the crowded MAIG office and he'd be partially responsible for the carnage?  WTF kind of sense does that make?

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/19/intoxicated-patients-more-likely-to-survive-traumatic-injuries-study-finds/



"The
study analyzed 190,612 patients treated at trauma centers between 1995
and 2009 following traumatic injuries such as fractures, internal
injuries and open wounds. Those with alcohol in their system had a lower
mortality rate across the range of injuries, with burns being the only
exception.


"At the higher levels of blood alcohol concentration, there was a
reduction of almost 50 percent in hospital mortality rates,”
explained
Lee Friedman, an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at
Chicago. "This protective benefit persists even after taking into
account injury severity and other factors known to be strongly
associated with mortality following an injury.”"

I did a little more digging on the story(besides actually reading the link OP posted). One article says with a learners permit you must have a 21+ year old with you, can't drive from 9pm-5am, and no family members under 21 in the car. Accident occurred at 4am.

He is suspected of being high, they are checking. The car was a brand new 2012 Subaru STi which one article claims had a "performance enhancement package" which I assumed to mean the STi part, not additional stuff(lame cops hyped up story + sloppy writer).

I thought parents are "responsible" for all their children until the age of 18? Isn't that what disowning is about? Anyway, if the age part is correct then the parents only defense is to say the kid stole the car. He could technically own a Lamborghini and follow the rules, so the make/type of car is moot.

That would be the requirement that would have to be met.
These parents knew their kid was not a licensed driver.

On the contrary. Stoners argue all the time that marijuana, "It just makes you drive slow, man."
