What does it matter? They are not going to give the names of the parents. They have nothing to do with the stupidity of their ADULT children.

Point exactly! Why then was Kelsi Freeman's name and the name of her parents listed when she was arrested.

Because Kelsi's involved a DEATH. That is more serious than a little pot.

You are right though. Mr. Freeman's name did not need to be put in the articles about his 26 year old daughter. But whoever wrote that article is the one that owes the explaination.

What the wasn't reported on the news is that 2 children were in the vehicle that the guy hit. It's a miracle they weren't hurt. He is a grown man not a kid. That intersection is dangerous but instead of stopping to make sure no one was hurt he took off. The funny part though was that his licence plate fell off right next to the vehicle he hit so even if he had gotten away they would have found him.
