My first post on this thread.
When I first read about this I thought **** this is going to cost the parents a heap of money, maybe their house. How many of us have got a wayward kid that no matter what you tell them, they know better.
Well this would have to be a wake up call to this kid and I bet the only reason the parents are taking the cash is because they will need it.
They won't be doing it for the opportunity to have their son embarrass them on national t.v.
I feel sorry for the parents and hope the son feels terrible for the position he has placed his parents in.
Just another smart ar$E kid.
