Do you tell the parents (even if you do not know them or their kid)...

[Anonymous]

... that their teenager had a party at their house last night when they were out of town?

I haven't. Not even when the police came banging on my door at 7am looking for the troublemaker kids next door. But if I were more friendly with them, I probably would have.

Would you want to know if your kid had a party while you were out-of-town? I would so I would tell the parents even if I didn't know them.

Wouldn't you be worried that your kid gets labeled as the snitch?

Nope. Let it be. They may find out it was you, then your house gets egged, car keyed etc.

Define "party."

According to my DD there were about 75 to 100 kids there (all high schoolers) and there was alcohol and probably pot.

I grounded DD for attending the party and lying to me about where she was going last night. But I don't know if this is something I should tell the parents about.

Nope do not involve yourself.

The neighbors will probably let them know. Or they will figure it out from the mess/things broken etc.

Mail an anonymous letter to the parents.

Just worry about you and yours. Really.

Nope. You honestly think the kids can clean up perfectly from a 75 kid party? No way. They'll give themselves away.

If there was alcohol and (even maybe) pot, then you should definitely tell.

Yup. Or the neighbors will tell them. I know there is no WAY my teenager could clean up well enough to hide that from me.

No. They will find out. Stay out of it.
