Student Drunk in High School

Breaking news from my local high school:
A Tuscarora High School student was taken to Frederick Memorial Hospital this morning after school officials discovered he was intoxicated.
The student's mother was called to take the student from school, but she felt she was not equipped to handle the student on her own, Frederick County Public Schools spokeswoman Marita Loose said.
The student faces a penalty of five days suspension on up to expulsion.

My bet is that not only can the mother not handle a drunk child, she probably can't keep the kid from drinking either.

I will also bet that the student will spend a few hours at the hospital, which along with the ambulance ride, will cost the the county money, for which it won't be reimbursed.
