  She had decided to fly abroad for the five-day trip the day before her son was due to appear in court

  So it’s less stopping her holiday and more choosing to bugger off at the very last minute.

  Yh, not like it’s her job to parent the child, that’s the government’s responsibility!

  Yes. Being a parent is a matter of personal responsibility. You have to take responsibility for your sprog’s behavior at least until they’re of legal age.

  That’s what is involved in being an adult and a parent.

  She obviously left in the believe that her child couldn’t be sentenced with her in absentia
