I agree—this may have happened due to shortcomings on the father’s part.

The son deserves to be pushed in the river as well.








With his feet encased in concrete.

Yeah I think the real lesson here is not to trust Fox News:

Sounds like there may be some other things at play here.

Not trying to defend Fox here but Newsweek seems to be the only people that think this was an accident.

The lad’s father said, “I wanted to give my son a birthday present. We could only afford to give him a BMW, while he kept on insisting that he be given a Jaguar. He said the vehicle was too small but we thought he will be OK.

I dunno...came up as the first article when I Googled. I find the whole story a bit suspect, especially since the kid apparently swam in after it to try and save it? Why would he do that if he deliberately sank it? Seems like most of the news sources are just copying the same article and some choosing to leave certain details out. Whatever. It's the Interwebs.
