They, like their teens, think bad things happen to other people. Look at that attitude on this site about the bad stuff that happens to adults: infidelity/divorce, financial trouble, etc. The prevailing attitude is that bad things happen because you were stupid or lazy or otherwise unworthy. How could something awful happen to their kids when they bought in the right school district? |

Over drink to point of alcohol poisoning and then wander around in a daze outside? That’s pretty bad.
Was he wounded and away from his cell phone? |

Life equals danger, kids are better being given some freedom. Better in HS than freshman year. I honestly wonder if 1/2 of the people on here are really the pussies the proclaim to be when they were younger or are just old fashioned hypocrites. Not all Kids make it out of childhood, never have, never will. Better to thin the heard than raid a generation of milk cows. Sure that’s cold but what is the alternative? You have to let them out of the basement at some point |

A child is dead. Grow the hell up. We are supposed to be the adults. |

Actually not better in HS than freshman year. Not better from a legal standpoint if cited. Not better from a health standpoint as the brain is even more underdeveloped. Not better from a social standpoint since HS peers are even less likely to have the knowledge and guts to appropriately intervene when a drinking teen is in trouble. And not better from an academic standpoint due to the way HS vs. college courses are structured. Too hungover in college to do freshman lecture? Read the book and get a buddy to sign the roster for you. Too hungover to attend AM classes in HS, Mommy has to call you out sick and there’s no textbook to cram, plus teachers start to notice the pattern. |

That’s it. Shelter them forever. Wait until they go to college. They will have no clue how to handle the extreme independence they will have. |

More details available publicly.....
Police interacted with him outside the party when they arrived. Adults ended the party when they realized alcohol had been brought. His parents notified police about disappearance at 3:30 am. https://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2017/12/bethesda-teen-possibly-influence-found-dead/ |

Not blaming the parents, but notifying an officer in the parking lot that your teen is missing isn’t the same as filing a missing person’s report. The latter is what triggers a search with dogs. There would have been an Amber Alert which friends might have seen and alerted the parents he wasn’t with them at their homes. —reported my foster brother missing a dozen times |

It is very sad. I don't understand the delay that occurred here. Either on this thread or the other thread about this states that one of his parents posted on the neighborhood list serv that he was missing. While it doesn't seem the find my friend was activated on his phone, a ping from it was from the location where he was found. |

I didn't realize there was another thread on this death ..... http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/688154.page It's more appropriate to discuss this death in that thread. |
