The texas teenage and his mother on the run for weeks after he allegedly violated probatation, they were both taken into custody near Puerto Vallarta. Abcs matt gutman has the latest. Matt, good morning. Reporter good morning, david. We learned that authorities are now in the process of bringing them back here. Now, the u. S.

That is likely to change but because he is still considered a juvenile here in texas and because hess stitill suspected of only a single violation of parole he probably wont spend much time behind bars. David. Matt, thanks so much. We want to bring in dan abrams this morning. Dan, always great to have you if he was on the run because of these social media videos doesnt it make it worse. Sure. It doesnt help at all that hes seems to be trying to escape. But as an escape effort, you go Puerto Vallarta over christmas when everyone there are american tourists . I mean, i think there this image that, oh, youan go to mexico a escape justice. You go to mexico theyre going to send you back. If you go toexico you have to hide in mexico. You cant go to Puerto Vallarta and hope that youre not going to get caught there. So, he is in more lal trouble than he was but i think matt is right, that youre talking about stil limited amount of time behind bars because theyre still going to have to prove that h violated the probation in the sense that he was drinking. St being at the party where people are drinking isnt going to be enough to put him behind bars but the fact that he left and if they can prove thate was tryg to escapape that could do it. Allright, so dont go to Puerto Vallarta. In the meaime, how much does the mother face in terms of punishment if she did help him run. If the goal was, if the intent was for her to help him evade justice she could be facing the criminal justice system, as well. So theyre now both facing the possibility of being in jeopardy because of this but, again, theyll have to prove that they werent just on vacation but that this was an intentional effort to evade justice.
