Serving as a Scout leader for many years, and active with other youth groups, and having Jeeps with winches and stuff, I've gotten more than a handful of calls over the years from teenaged drivers that have done something stupid. When they would call me, I always gave them a choice...before pulling them out, or whatever they needed, either the cops or their parents had to be there. They could call either one, but had to make the choice, and call. Funny how it was always their parents.
This poor guy has to deal with both.
I call it "paying the stupid tax".
