This lady wishes police could stop her son. Lets arm law enforcment officers with RPG's then they can stop a drunk driver and administer justice.

That's not a swollen face from crying that's a face from someone who keeps stuffing their their mouth every waking hour of the day and night take responsibility for your self and family.

Oh, play the bame game and not blame the drunk? The drunk drivers mom should have used a condom 27 years and 9 months ago. That would have kept this drunk off the road, save this little boy and his family and saved "mom" 27+ years of grief. Never drink and drive!

Just get a rope and finish it...

The family is NOT responsible. He is a grown man people! What was his mother supposed to do? Send him to his room? He was not a teenager, He is a grown man!!! At least she called the cops on him. She did all she could, give the poor woman a freaking break. He has probably been making her life a living hell. I have an alcoholic brother. My mother raised us all the same, he choose a different path. He is impulsive, he has problems with addiction and has caused her endless heartache. He is a screw up, but he is still her son and she loves him. He is an adult, he does what he wants. She doesn't support his habits, or his lifestyle. It is not always the family's fault. By the way FDNY, Laurel Ridge is not free.

Family is responsible for the nut job

Save it for the jury

How is it the police's responsibility when YOU as his mother should have locked his butt up at Laurel Ridge or some place the moment you realized he was uncontrollable and unwilling to take his meds? As for the gf's comments- let's hope HIS crazy behind DOES feel bad- he willingly got behind the wheel- and KILLED someone. Just because you have a mental illness does NOT give you a free pass on being irresponsible. And if you lack the mental capacity to be responsible then someone in your family needs to be responsible for you, not the police. I'm not sure we'll ever know why folks suffer from mental illness and it's unfortunate that they do, but the bottom line is this man got behind the wheel and a child is dead because SOMEONE wasn't responsible- hopefully our whacked out court system will properly identify whether that was him or his family and not somehow turn this into the System's fault.

Take responsibility for your own actions.....

Medical conditions do not give justification to drinking and driving manslaughters. This 11 year old will miss out on what could have been his great life because a 27 year old had not made the right dcisions in his. Why do the police have to stop the son anyways? SAPD is not mental institution security. They process the crimes AFTER they occur, not while your son is on the verge of being loony. Sit there and ponder why your mijo didn't turn out like other good kids because you--well--sat there and hoped. Hope is NOT a strategy. It's an accessory to accomplishment.
