Hmm weird! Well does the kid seem like a good kid? Maybe he really was telling the truth but definitely needs better friends and better parenting either way!! It is good he has the Mini as a friend and good influence! And you around if his mother won’t parent him. Although obviously you shouldn’t have to take over like that but even just taking him after school like you have been will hopefully help

although I do wonder if the mother even went through his bag or just believed him

what does Mini say?
