Episode Details

A 15-year-old crashes his e-scooter into a car, killing his 14-year-old passenger Jacob, sparking a national reckoning over the dangers of unregulated electric scooters. Jacob’s mom, Carly, is now fighting for legal reforms — demanding e-scooters be restricted to adults 18+, with mandatory licenses, insurance, and helmets — while calling for harsher penalties for teens and stricter parental accountability. Despite the government’s promise to include her in lawmaking, Carly believes the teen’s lenient sentence sends the wrong message. Police are seizing illegal scooters nationwide, as families and advocates push for safety over convenience.
