I'd appreciate any input on this serious situation.
My sister, together with her live-in bf of many years, runs a small landscaping company. The workhorse of this operation is a beautiful Dodge Ram truck, which is in her name only.
The bf has a LONG record of doing stupid and dangerous things. Last night, my sister asked him to go to the store. He allowed his 17-year old son to drive him, and he insisted on taking the Ram (other vehicles were available).
On the way home, contrary to explicit instructions, the bf allowed the son to make a side trip up into the country. In the process, the son rolled the Dodge. The Dodge is now totaled.
She loved her truck. When the bf & son explained what had happened, she began to cry, and scream at them, calling them idiots. The son smart-mouthed her, using vulgar language, and my sister slapped him.
The bf, fearful, took the son and dashed off in another vehicle, leaving my sister to deal with police & insurance.
What should she do?
