As the dust settles, the family stands divided. The young woman, unrepentant, insists the whole situation could’ve been avoided if she was allowed to borrow the car. Her parents, desperate, plead for leniency, citing her youth and the emotional stress of virtual schooling. Meanwhile, our car owner stands firm, refusing to drop the charges or pay for the damages herself. As the drama unfolds, one question remains: who’s really in the wrong here?
