Drunk drivers to pay child support to victims
Drunk drivers to pay child support to victims
New law in Texas will make drunk drivers who murder parent or guardian to pay child support to the child of the deceased until the child is 18 years old.
Surprised in a /c like this that no one is talking about how you can prevent this on a systemic level with public transportation and mixed zoning.
I live 600 feet from a pub. If I went out of my area I can take one of several different busses to get back within walking distance to my apartment. Don't have to worry about getting home if you can walk there.
The biggest issue with American solutions is they always look at problem solving backwards. You want to fix society level issues on the society level. Expecting people to fix it themselves never works or we wouldn't already be in this mess
I live 300m to a pub, but it's 500m back!
lol that's pretty good. Stealing that
Doesn't China have a similar law? iirc if someone is injured or disabled the driver is liable to the person's expense for the rest of the life or something, so people just straight up run them over if they hit someone and they are still alive. I worried if that might be what is gonna happen to the child if this law passed
Um... Why is not this law in effect like everywhere? Like otherwise you just ruin a etire family and just like "ooooops, too bad"?
Yup. That should be everywhere. It shouldn't be just kids either. If you disable someone you should be paying similar support for the rest of your life.
I support this, but I think that we really need a better alt than cars, especially at night.
only the not wealthy and connected ones.
