A Reading mother, apparently trying to help her son make friends, is accused of throwing a rowdy keg party where she sold teens beer.

Police say Kim Caufield, 39, now faces charges of distributing alcohol to a minor and delinquency of a minor.

Caufield and her family reportedly moved to Reading about two months ago from Florida. Students speculate she threw the beer bash — complete with a keg — to help her 14-year-old son make friends.

If she's gotta throw a kegger to help her kid make friends, how big of a loser is he? The fact that his mom got busted for it isnt gonna help his situation either.

Yep, a very good point you made, Flak. It would be better off if she could have taken him to see a reputable and qualified psychologist or get a good support group. There are really better and legal ways to make friends. *SIGH*
