He is so on his own. His folks lavish money instead of time upon him. Mom and dad are divorced and dad got a 19 year old girlfriend. He never will get the time from dad. I told mom to get a defensive driving class for her son. She dismissed me.

If the kid were nice I'd offer to teach him myself, but to him I am not of his social class and therefore do not know anything.
