Parents of Crash Victim Seek Charges Against Teen Driver's Mother

Family argues the mother knew of her son's dangerous driving habits and failed to prevent the fatal accident.

  • Flynn MacKrell, 18, died in a high-speed crash involving his friend, Kiernan Tague, 17.
  • Tague faces second-degree murder charges and awaits trial with the possibility of an adult sentence.
  • MacKrell's family is pushing for involuntary manslaughter charges against Tague's mother, Elizabeth Puleo-Tague.
  • Text messages reveal Puleo-Tague was aware of her son's reckless driving but did not confiscate the car keys.
  • The case draws parallels to the Oxford High School shooting where parents were held accountable for their child's actions.
