Well, astute mothers take advantage of all avenues including less than brilliant homies. Don't feel sorry for my son, he was in the thick of it all, it just happened that "homie" added me as a friend on Facebook. Who does that? What kid wants their buddy's parent in Facebook (apparently at this time a lot of my boys' pals). Whatever, their funeral, LOL.
The "homie" is now a very responsible husband and father of 2 beautiful little boys, owns his own home and has a great job. So it all worked out.
