Um, yes, if you’re too drunk for me to accept a ride from, I should not let you MY BEST FRIEND drive either. Party was full of trashy losers. |
| And it’s obvious beer and white claws and a little pot weren’t the only things being consumed at this end of the summer rager. No doubt a lot of heavy narcotics and sketchy men. |
The best friend was also a teenager. |
So what? 30 years ago my friends wouldn’t let each other drive drunk. It’s about 1000x more convenient to avoid drinking and driving in 2022. It suggests these people are low class a-hole trash. Not “friends,” just party acquiescences. |
Two kids from my high school died in (separate) drunk driving accidents during my 4 years there, in northern Virginia , so I’m pretty sure kids still drove drunk 30 years ago and their friends still “let” them |

NY Post reports nobody at the party will talk to police. The end of summer party is an annual event, high school and college students from around the region. Both teens and adults in attendance. Alcohol and drug use is common.

| The mom had a phone conversation with her drunk daughter around 11:30pm and said “wake me up when you get home”?????? Not I’m coming to get you. Not I’ll call an Uber. Knew she was at a party and let her drive home???? Wow just wow. |
Lololol!!! I graduated in 1996 and there was so much drunk driving that went in I’m surprised anybody survived. Oftentimes if you got pulled over the cop would just follow you home. |
| I’m not sure what’s so funny. Can you recall a time you refused to ride with your best friend because you determined they were clearly too drunk to drive? So you found another way home and just let them drive super drunk solo? |
+1 There is something very off about this whole situation, including a mixture of permissiveness, denial and indifference.. |
Nothing funny about this. I graduated in the 80s and even then we were well aware that drunk drivers often survived but the people they hit did not. Of course some kids still did it but that doesn’t make it ok. People still do it now for some dumb reason. |

The problem is that you and many others on this thread are applying adult problem solving skills to teenagers. |
| I did some searching and people are alleging the 17 yo “best friend” is sketchy and is probably not her friend at all. They didn’t even follow each other on social media. And the 17 yo girl’s story has changed in the media? And she wants to be an actress, as in, likely to exploit this to seek fame and attention. Very, very weird. Additionally, there is also an undercurrent wondering if this could be a viral hoax. Just too many coincidences, down to the shirt and sweatshirt she was wearing. |
PP here. Not at all. I was referring to permissive adults who are in denial about the more limited problem solving skills of teens and thinking a party like that is okay. Now we have a 16 year old who's been missing for two weeks. God only knows what she's experienced. |
