Doubt you will either. That's not sensational enough news. "Teen learns valuable life lesson" ... nope, no blood or decapitation there.
And since many want to play devil's advocate, allow me: What makes you think the woman wanted "15 minutes of fame anyway"? Did she report it as a news item, or did she just make a clever ad, post it and go about her day, oblivious to the fact that someone somewhere would even think it "important enough" to spread around the AP wire? Pat on the back? Come on. I sincerely doubt this is the outcome she predicted when she generously bought and gave the car to her son in the first place. I think as far as the "publicity" of this particular punishment goes, people have jumped on the mom quite a bit too soon. But hey, that's my opinion and I'm probably biased anyway because I agree with her actions.
