Ole Miss doesn’t have a “Fall Break.”

What's your point? My son is at UVA and was home for Fall Break this weekend. Lots of kids came home even if they didn't have an official Fall Break since it was a long weekend for many.

My point is Ole Miss doesn’t have a fall break.

OK, stalker.

DP- That’s not necessary. Many of us are from Arlington and have kids at Yorktown, HB or W and L. It’s common knowledge.

we're all on here with our opinions about fault and blame and suggestions for how to educate and protect our kids, but what are the kids saying right now? is it grief? anger? are kids coming clean to their parents about the drinking that goes on? about the drinking that was going on that night in particular?

Thanks! Seemed a bit excessive, but you know how keyboard warriors behave!

I didn't write the stalker comment, but I don't understand how Ole Miss not having fall break is important to anything. People come home from college for a weekend all the time. I am sure since his friends would be home, he wanted to be home, too.

I immediately has the talk again about drinking, driving and how to get out of a bad situation. We have a code. They have uber on their phones. They know we will pick them up no matter what. I know my kid has had some interest in going to parties, but isn't part of the party crowd.

I'm definitely concerned about what I hear..... about the kids who are drunk at every football game or the ones who are known to drive home drunk in our neighborhood. I'm concerned about the parent of another student who told their kid to start drinking or the house that has parties that result in drunk HS students acting ridiculous on our street. My parents would NEVER have stood for half of what I hear about now.

Does that mean he stays in jail until the court date?

If the judge denied bond this morning, his lawyer can petition a higher court for a bond hearing. But yes, for now, he's in jail. And if the higher court denies bond, he'll stay in jail.

I wonder if the decision to refuse a breathalyzer and blood test at the scene is at all a factor? That shows a level of non-cooperation the judge could take into consideration. I don't know how judges decide these things though.

It means Daddy is a lawyer.

Or has friends who are. So, all of N. Arlington.

Not a huge leap to assume the kid made a call right after the accident.

Do you understand how drunk kids get? Many HS kids rarely drink beer and only drink hard alcohol (I have no idea what these kids drank and how drunk they actually were). These kids may have been so drunk that they have no memory of getting in the car. That doesn’t excuse their actions, but it’s possible they didn’t even know their own names at that point.

I'm sure that factored into many of the bad decisions made that night, including getting behind the wheel, getting into the car with a drunk driver, not wearing a seatbelt, etc.

Freshmen in college. First time home and first time meeting up with old friends at different colleges. As said upstream, this is the most dangerous time for young men. Being just a mile or two from home, i.e., safe, also factors into poor decision making. Most accidents are within 5 miles of home.

It is so tragic and so sad.

Why are the dangerous idiots always boys???!? DO BETTER BOY PARENTS. JFC.

Kids who know them are clearly devastated but also angry that this type of behavior was a pattern and ended the way it did.

Look this whole culture isn’t some big secret from the parents. I don’t know how many people on this thread need to tell you all that. People know where they were that night. This is why the whole….but this could be anyone stop judging!!! is landing a bit flat for some.

There are pathetic parents in North Arlington who, worried about their kids being “unpopular,” will direct them to have these parties at their house. Often, they are in the house when the drinking and debauchery takes place. This is the direct result of that kind of culture. This is a sick place to raise kids.

Doubtful. A good many DUI suspects refuse the breathalyzer. It's a roll of the dice. Will your BAC be higher or lower by the time a warrant for a blood draw is obtained? A refusal of the breathalyzer in VA means you automatically lose your license right then but that could be a better outcome for many. Also, a lot of times the refusal charge will get dropped when bargaining with the CA (commonwealth attorney).

How does an 18 year old know that he should refuse the breathalyzer? Do teens talk about this and advise each other to not take it?

I think it's pretty common knowledge. My dad always taught me that if I ever got in any sort of trouble to tell them my name and say I want to call him and then say nothing else.

Classic. No I have not given my kids this life tip. Are people telling their children this?

Yes. Anything you say can and will be used against you.

I grew up in Bethesda in the 90s and it was much worse. Parties every weekend.

Agreed it’s sick. Wasn’t always that way, but definitely toxic last generation.

Newsflash I have a sibling raising her kids in an entirely different metro area and it’s like that there too. It’s any community with some degree of wealth and entitlement.

Because that’s how young male brains are hardwired. Same ones that make boys want to join the military.

In the 80s for Gen X it was more benign neglect when partying occurred but people didn’t welcome it in their homes. No one cared what we were doing but don’t bother them with it either.
