In a TikTok video, she provided insights into the law, stating that the parents could be charged with negligence for allowing their unlicensed son to drive.

On October 12, 2024, Salifu Amoako's 16-year-old son, Elrad Amoako, reportedly crashed a Jaguar SUV into an Acura, causing a fire that killed two 12-year-old girls, Maame Dwomoh Boateng and Justine Agbenu.

In the days after the crash, videos surfaced online seemingly showing the teenager speeding on multiple occasions, raising questions about his parents' knowledge of his behaviour.

Vim Lady explained that, under the law, parents are responsible for their minor children, especially when it comes to safety and legal compliance.

She noted that the evidence of Elrad's dangerous driving habits could lead to charges of negligence against his parents if it is proven that they were aware of his actions and still allowed him to drive.

She further explained that while Elrad, as a minor, could face charges, he may be treated more leniently by the court due to his age.

Following the crash, Salifu Amoako, his wife Mouha, and a third person, Linda Bempah Bonsu, were arrested and charged with permitting an unlicensed person to drive. They have since been granted bail, but investigations are ongoing.
