FORT WORTH — One of the most prominent families in Fort Worth wants answers about what happened to their son.
Amon Carter IV came home from a trip with his buddies branded and seriously burned.
Fraternity branding is a growing phenomenon, but this incident goes far beyond that. The family of the great, great grandson of Amon Carter is asking how could it happen — with no one held accountable and no one raising an alarm?
Everyone seems to agree it was a stupid decision by several TCU students, the result of a night of drinking — perhaps a dare.
Amon Carter IV, a sophomore who goes by the name of "Chance," told News 8 he consented to be branded on his buttock, but that he did not consent to what eventually happened.
Chance's dad, Amon Carter III, has retained a lawyer to make sure the branding is investigated by police and also school officials.

The story doesn't mention which fraternity he belongs to. It does mention that the incident happened on a trip to Breckenridge, Co., but doesn't say if it was fraternity sponsored or just a group on their own.
