Orange County DA Charges 12 Parents for Children's Illegal E-Moto Use
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer has charged 12 parents with child endangerment and other offenses for allowing their children to illegally ride electric motorcycles (e-motos) on public roads. The crackdown follows a surge in injuries and deaths, including the fatal crash of 13-year-old Benson Nguyen in Garden Grove. Spitzer argues that holding parents criminally liable is necessary to deter dangerous behavior, as e-moto injuries have become the leading cause of juvenile emergency room visits in the county.
