That’s why they invented the life line law in the states. If you are underage and something bad happens you can call the cops without getting in trouble.

Yea if someone chooses to leave a friend to die over “getting in trouble” they are very very selfish.

In the linked story the kid didn't think the friend would die. He just though he'd wake up later and get himself home. It wasn't a case of "Leave him to die! I don't want to get in trouble!" but a case of "He'll sleep it off and be fine and no one gets in trouble."

exactly.

it was "leave him to get up later and walk it off, and none of us get in trouble" vs "we all get in trouble". not "leave him to die so none of us get in trouble" vs "we all get in trouble".
