She made the kid lie, and now SHE'S making HIM apologise for it? Sounds like mom is the one who needs some jail time. I'm sure that seeing $$$$ signs was her motive. You know, work up a little sympathy, maybe sue somebody.... it's so sad that some kids have a-holes for parents!
"She made the kid lie..."
It doesn't say that. You think a 12 year old can't come up with a big old lie all on his own, to cover up his own misbehaviour? Have you ever met a 12 year old? That's when adolescence, and all the BS that goes with it, starts.
