Well, probably not exactly like that, but it wouldn't surprise me. There are an awful lot of parents who don't care these days... I remember an incident in my own country a couple of years ago, when a drunk teenager crashed his car - again - and put his girlfriend in hospital. He announced that he intended to drink and drive again, and his mother supported him because he's a 'good boy' and just needs to learn more about drinking.
