13岁男孩骑电动摩托车身亡：橙县检方起诉一对越南裔父母涉嫌危害儿童
加州橙县地方检察官办公室10月20日宣布，对圣安娜越南裔居民 Vu Thanh Nguyen（56岁）及其妻子 Hong Cuc Thi Nguyen（49岁）提起刑事指控，罪名与他们13岁的儿子 Benson 今年5月7日骑电动摩托车身亡一案有关。父亲被控一项重罪危害儿童罪和一项轻罪促成未成年人不良行为罪，母亲被控一项轻罪危害儿童罪。父亲最高可判6年州监狱监禁，母亲最高1年县监禁，两人定于11月12日出庭受审。
检方称，Benson 当天在加登格罗夫（Garden Grove）骑 E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 电动摩托车超速、闯红灯并翘头骑行，随后失控撞上中央隔离带，被甩出车外后撞上混凝土电杆，送医后不治身亡。他的手机定位软件显示，失控时车速达每小时43英里，该车型最高时速可达55英里。检方指出，父亲明知儿子骑行鲁莽、半年前曾摔断腿，却仍为他购买了动力更强的电动摩托车。加州法律将此类车辆归类为摩托车，须年满16岁、持摩托车驾照并登记投保。
橙县地方检察官 Todd Spitzer 表示，相关执法是其办公室今年设立的电动自行车与电动摩托专案组工作的一部分。今年1月以来，该办公室已对10名允许子女非法骑电动摩托车的父母提起危害儿童等指控。（GSM 据《今日美国》与《洛杉矶时报》报道）
Orange County Prosecutors Charge Vietnamese American Parents After 13-Year-Old Son's Fatal E-Motorcycle Crash
The Orange County District Attorney's Office in California announced on October 20 that Santa Ana residents Vu Thanh Nguyen, 56, and his wife Hong Cuc Thi Nguyen, 49, face criminal charges in connection with the May 7 death of their 13-year-old son Benson in an electric motorcycle crash. The father is charged with felony child endangerment and a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor; the mother faces a misdemeanor child endangerment count. He faces up to six years in state prison and she up to one year in county jail; arraignment is set for November 12.
Prosecutors say Benson was speeding, running red lights and doing wheelies on an E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 in Garden Grove when he lost control, struck the raised center divider and was thrown into a concrete pole. His phone location app showed 43 mph when he lost control; the model can reach 55 mph. Prosecutors say the father bought him the more powerful machine despite his reckless riding and a broken leg six months earlier. District Attorney Todd Spitzer said the case is part of his office's e-bike and e-motorcycle enforcement effort, which has charged 10 parents since January.
