'Affluenza' Teen Sought After Probation Officer Lost Contact

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Dec 15, 2015, 7:17 PM ET

A juvenile-court equivalent of an arrest warrant has been issued for a teenager who killed four people in a 2013 drunken-driving wreck near Fort Worth, then claimed as part of his defense that he suffered from "affluenza."

Ethan Couch's attorneys told KXAS-TV ( http://bit.ly/1QnF8iz ) of Fort Worth-Dallas that a judge has issued "a directive to apprehend" Couch after a juvenile probation officer was unable to contact 19-year-old Couch or his mother, with whom he was living.

Couch was 16 when he drunkenly rammed a pickup truck into a crowd of people, killing four. Two years ago, he was given 10 years' probation after his attorneys asserted Couch's wealthy parents coddled him into irresponsibility. Prosecutors wanted a maximum sentence of 20 years in state custody.

1. They're probably spending the holidays on that Caribbean island whose name escapes me

(but was featured on a BBC doc over at You Tube) where the rich go to frolic and never be reminded that the rest of us exist.

AHA! Necker Island, the playground of plutocrats where the prices keep riffraff like thee and me safely away.

His PO is not going to be happy about that or a ski Xmas or any other travel. However, it won't be enough to get him thrown in the can, sad to say. Damned kid really needs to get away from Mama and get some sort of reality check.
