Not me---Boo hoo.

So when the cops are called to an underage drinking party, and arrest those in attendance, they should first listen to the excuses.  "Not me, Officer, I was just picking up a drunk friend."   If the young woman happens to be captain of a volleyball team, then of course she has to be telling the truth.  If the police asked the other attendees if they were drinking, or were there to support a friend, how many would so claim.  If the school enforces their discipline code, with by the way what seems to be a rather mild punishment, the school is wrong, because the mother believes her child. Said child could have called someone else to pick up the drunk girl, or the driver could have waited outside: teens do beep horns. As a team captain, she should have possessed a measure of leadership and responsibility to avoid placing herself in jeopardy.  Aren't  captains skilled at strategy?  It's so easy (and a cheap shot) to denigrate the bad bureaucrats while protecting a young innocent girl, who's good at sports, and has loving, hovering parents.
