| DD went on a trip with a group of seniors a few years ago. Our contract stated that any caught drinking, even if they were of age, would be sent home. |
They have no shame. And no common sense. |

There were multiple original posts in the last 24hrs about this trip to Mexico and they have all disappeared? What happen. It was on the news. Why can't it be posted here. I didn't start them but I did comment on them.
I think the parents are horrible people. |
I don't know about them all, but I'm an OP of another thread in this forum and I asked Jeff to delete it because I saw an older one in the Maryland Schools forum already talking about it. There aren't supposed to be multiple threads on a topic. |
I've seen worse parents. This guy in my neighborhood, who is a registered sex offender, frequently lets his underage daughter and her friends drink at his house. More disturbing is that they always spend the night!! |
I went to a top prep school. There was a clause that anyone violating student conduct on or off campus at any time would be subject to disciplinary procedures. A very wealthy girl was expelled for underaged drinking during break not on school grounds. Kids did this stuff but parents didn't condone it or make it easy because if you got caught, you were out. The drinking and partying would have been far worse if it had been easier. Too many adults think that kids drink because its forbidden fruit or the bat shit crazy parents are too into their kids being popular because they weren't. Kids drink because they want to fit in socially or it makes them feel more confident when they are socially insecure. If its not available, they drink less. If its easily accessible, they'll drink more. |

| Trial is in less than 2 weeks. As the mom of a 20 year old son, I can't imagine how the family feels. 3 lives lost, not 2. |
That displays a lack of empathy for the two families whose sons are actually dead. |
Said the thread bully boss. |
Can you please stop calling every poster you don't like a "bully"? Do you need Jeff to explain "bully" to you? He might even identify you as the drunk(?) bully. |
| Aw, thread bully boss is feeling threatened. Your incessant shutting down of every thought or comment not pre-approved by you is ridiculous and tiresome. But it's clear you know who you are. So I guess that's a start. |
No, actually, said me, who really dislikes whoever keeps harping on this on DCUM, aka "the thread bully boss". He'll probably go to jail. That's not losing your life. |

I'd be sad that the passengers didn't use better judgment than to get into a car with a teen they knew was drinking, after they themselves had been drinking, and not wear seat belts. We preach, beg, implore our kids not to do these things. So I'd never forgive myself if my kids died this way. |
