HS Party with Alcohol... Death

[Anonymous]

Sad to say, but when I read on here that the father involved is an attorney, I automatically thought, "oh, then he'll get off without any punishment". Nothing is going to change unless adults are held responsible for allowing these drinking parties at their house.

Exactly. Parenting classes, community service, fines, donations, etc, etc, mean nothing to these wealthy North Potomac residents. Everyone knows what penalty they need to get.

Apparently, the lawyer host can be held responsible for the deaths of the two boys who were killed, according to the Bethesda Magazine article. He needs to get nailed. Then, and only then, will this crime stop. Right now these parent hosted parties are on the rise. This needs to stop.

"PARENTS are DEAD wrong..."

when they host these underaged drinking parties.

-Montgomery County Police Captain Tom Didone.

The Captain is EXACTLY right.

This is different than the Bethesda magazine article. Kids DIED. I am pissed that lawyer got away with just fines but this new case - the Wootton one. The Dad knew, he joked with them, he knew there was two 30 packs and vodka there and counting the number of kids being no more than 20. Well you do the math. He didn't take the keys of any drivers. Those 4 boys left his house intoxicated after all the alcohol ran out, got into a car accident and 2 died.

How is this not automatic involuntary manslaughter? If this Dad doesn't get jail time and the boy does, I will completely have given up on our judicial system.

I just want to know who the local politician is who commented on the incident and what s/he said. If that PP comes back, could you let me know?

But no one's going to lock-up. They're above the law. Just watch...

Perhaps it has to do with the kid leaving and then coming back?

No. But keep trying.

He had a designated driver. He came back on his own after that.

He? He, the lawyer host? Carry on with your nonsense.

This is not supported by the reports in the press. The Post, for instance, says this:

"And when the party was winding down, a popular, college-bound athlete offered some friends a ride. They played loud music and 'whipped' -- a term one teen used to describe excessive speeding. And then crashed."

It appears to be a lawyer person who's continually trying to mislead or derail this thread. His motive is no mystery.

I'm not a lawyer but I thought it was commonly known.
