Too much spoiling can lead a young person to suffer from affluenza. That’s the case for an American teenager Ethan Couch, who killed four people on June 15, 2013 while recklessly driving drunk . His lawyer argued that he’s unable to understand the consequences of his actions because of his financial privilege. Instead of prison, Couch got 10 years of probation and rehabilitation to treat his affluenza. After violating the term of his probation, he fled to Mexico then he got caught. Currently, Couch remains in jail in solitary confinement. Soon Couch will be transferred to the adult court to face the consequences, and he could get more jail time. (reuters.com)
