mommy1977: So glad that everyone is safe and your conscience is clear. It could have turned out badly. You should be proud of yourself for doing the right thing. As the assistant principle says at my son's high school is always reminding parents to confirm and verify with other parents. Your children may not like it but is so necessary in todays world.
i did report this underage party to someone i know and worked at my sons school he deals with youth and gangs he called a freind on the police force who would handle it in the manner it was to be handled, good thing because of all the snow we got that weekend (thank you GOD) nothing happened at the address i gave.
I would first of all keep your son home, and someone need to be notified, other parent, police etc. A 15 year old girl just died a couple of weeks ago at one of these drinking parties. She wondered off drunk, ended up in a swamp. Not trying to scare you. Drinking underage is illegal. How would you feel if something happened to any of those kids and you had done nothing? Do you know where the party is?? You could go back on my space and try to get more info, maybe who else is going. Who is buying the beer? If something happens and you had knowledge, you be considered an accomplice or get into trouble with the authorities for withholding information pertaining to something illegal. I hope your son has not gone. Please keep in touch
Talk with your son. I know at 16, he seems to be his own man. If he is not listening, write a letter and explain everything that is associated with drinking and smoking, party without an adult supervision, his age, and cite practical examples.
You are not alone, some children this age often think of today, not their future.
Best wishes!
