I'm going to be that guy, but this right here it's a first world problem almost to the letter. I mean, we've got an adult (the college guy) hurrying to call his mother when he gets in trouble so that the latter would help him solve his problems, and then we've got the mother herself, ready to forgo her long-held believes (feminism and all that) as soon as her son's "future" is on the line.
Yup. Having your future almost destroyed because of a lying, bitter ex-girlfriend and not being given proper due process or resources is totally a first world problem. You nailed it.
I read the article twice and nowhere did the author say anything about asking her son something like: "Hey, did you do that?", nor is the former girlfriend's opinion mentioned.
And yes, I would like for both parties' views to be on the same page, jumping to conclusions like "bitter ex-girlfriend " does no good to anyone.

In this case, it actually made a lot of sense for him to call his mother, since his mother is a lawyer.
