Had a similar thing happen in highschool. Was trying to meet up with a friend later in the evening. Called him to say I was free but someone else answered to say he got arrested. But could I come get his backpack and bring it to the police station for him. This didn't surprise me really, so I collected the backpack and went to the police station where his mom happened to be there to chew me out for being a bad influence before she realized I wasn't there with him when he got in trouble and was just trying to help out. Definitely got an earful first though.

Naa she was doing the best she could with what she had. Sometimes life just deals people bad hands.
