He might have some other intentions - starting from just being a drama queen and craving for attention. There are too many inaccuracies. For example, Bolo's post says "My mom was hit by a drunk driver in Belize". However the story he linked too described a car-motorbike accident, which is NOT something we'd call "was hit by a driver". His post also failed to mention that the motorcycle rider was taken to the hospital, while the "mom" is apparently doing fine. Neither the whole story ever said anything about the motorcycle rider being drunk.
What is true in many countries, however, is that IF you are driving a vehicle and get into traffic accident which resulted in bodily injures and you claim you're innocent (and of course so does the other driver), you will have to come to a court trial. If you think about it without hysteria, this is exactly what the courts are for. Of course, until the liability issue is resolved and the trial happens, you won't be able to leave the country. This has happened before in Thailand with some of people I know. And indeed the Embassy can only provide little help here as it is civil dispute, not a criminal one.
