Setting: my teeny tiny town aka post office, auto body shop, junk yard, and maybe 15 house in a square mile area. NOTHING ever happens here (really).
Yesterday, I notice a police car parked outside the neighbor's house four doors down, both on my way to work and home, VERY unusual.
DS comes racing in the door from h.s. to tell us that the 20yo boy who lives at that house was driving drunk the night before, rolled his brand new truck, and called his MOTHER rather than the police. She came and got both him and the passenger, took them to the house, and finally took the passenger to the hospital when she realized something was seriously wrong. He ended up being flight for lifed to the nearest big hospital with serious internal injuries: spleen/liver, etc.
In the meanwhile, the driver/son is "in the wind", the police feel that the parents are aiding/abetting him in his desire not to be caught, and the rest of us in the neighborhood are just in shock. The parents are in serious trouble with the insurance companies, the police, the passenger's parents, etc, etc, and they still won't say where their son is.
DS looked right at me and said, "I know you'd turn me in, but you'd at least call a lawyer for me, right?"
What kind of parent would do this, and do they truly believe he's going to get away with it?
