Mudy, That report is by a DDM rep. Take it with appropriate amount of salt. Mata Amritanandamayi had in the past clearly expressed her views regarding the Shankaracharya's arrest. She had expressed her support for Kanchi and hoped that this ordeal for Shankaracharya would pass off as a bad dream. She is not a person who changes her statements. Since the case is highly political, she perhaps doesn't want to comment any further on it. The reporter seems to be interpreting beyond what she said.

This quote shows how ill informed the know-all smug DDM could be.
Amma was not a 'school dropout'. She wanted to go to school, but her parents wouldn't let her. She was kept at home pretty much as a servant to do the household chores.
Amma was not a 'problem child' either. Her family could be called a 'problem family' on the other hand.
Seeing how this reporter has twisted around the facts, I wouldn't put too much faith in his interpretation of what Amma said about the Shankaracharya.
