A random 1st offence, no injury involved DUI is not newsworthy simply because he’s the son of a deceased one-time prominent Charleston lawyer.
Agreed.
Don’t know why this is news. Especially don’t understand the need to mention his deceased father.
Substance abuse kills people and destroys families. This young man will die like his dad if he does not seek help. His struggles remind others to seek help and stay sober. 100% newsworthy.
This article will not make him seek help. And this article will not be read by 21 year olds and act as a deterrent to his age group. This type of article does nothing but propagate shame, which is a constant in the life of someone who abuses substances. And it is online forever. If every single person who got a DUI received this level of attention: fair. But the inconsistency makes it clear that his identity as his father’s son was the differentiator. Oh well. Children become teenagers and young adults. They make mistakes. Some of them make big mistakes. They can be held quite accountable without the addition of their particular infraction being published on the internet, due to their father’s identity (and how he died). If you publish these things, you must be ready for your own child’s trangressions to be memorialized forever by someone, when they occur. That’s all. Something to think about.
