Just call the cops

You find a dead body in your home, what do you do next?

A) Call the cops immediately
OR
B) Go down the street to your *beep* neighbors house and say " Hey man your kid killed this girl come check it out"

I understand him wanting to tell him about it before it gets to the news or whatever but he could have went down the street after he called the cops. He almost got himself killed. What was he trying to accomplish?
