This kid is tainted no matter what he does from hereon in. Do the parents realize that if the matter goes to trial, there's a pretty good risk that there's information not yet released that will finish him off? That the kid will look even more foolish and malicious than he does now?

Jeff Bezos is not going to throw money at this problem and they'll go away.

And besides, who's the kid fooling? He wasn't confused and uncomfortable. He was a mocking little POS. One quick motion for dismissal or summary judgment and it's done.
