In a landmark case in New York, Sean Smith and Deo Ramnarine were sentenced for child endangerment after their 16-year-old son, driving a BMW they gifted him, caused a fatal crash that killed 14-year-old Fortune Williams. The teen was driving at over 100 mph with only a junior driver's license, and his parents were found responsible for enabling his illegal driving. Smith received three years of probation and both parents were mandated to attend a 26-week parenting class after pleading guilty. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz emphasized that this case illustrates that parental responsibility extends to the actions of their children, especially in tragic circumstances. The driver is currently facing manslaughter charges, which could lead to a lengthy prison sentence. This case may set a precedent for holding parents accountable in similar incidents across the U.S.
