I'm not sure if anyone here is really familiar with the Liam Ashley case, probably not, but anyway short story:
Parents send 17 year old son to jail for "borrowing" their car, boy being transported in Prison van, boy killled while in the prison van because other occupant thought he was a police informer by the way he was asking questions and all, parents make huge fuss, Corrections department inquest finds problems (per usual) and it is tried to be sorted out,
The one thing is, although this wouldn't have happened if there hadn't been anything wrong in the Corrections Department,
the parents are taking no responsibilty at all, they didn't have to have their son charged with car theft, and without that he wouldn't have died and hsi parents are making a massive fuss about it and it all seems rather stupid.
