[quote=Anonymous]Funny story.  I had a friend in high school whose parents let him and his buddies go to a beach house for the weekend.

Of course, they were all drunk and some were trying pot within a few hours.  One of the guys thought it would be a good idea to order a pizza.  He didn't have the phone number for a local pizzeria, so he thought he would dial 411 (yeah, I'm dating myself).  Well, in his stupor, he accidentally dialed 911 on himself.  He hung up quickly, but the cops still showed up and took a hard line on all of it.  The boys were hauled into court, were sentenced to community service, the parents had to come out of pocket for lawyers, and the kids ended up with records.

Bottom line is that, while I believe that some parents can predict the behavior of their own responsible child, it is very hard to know what someone else's kid might do.  It is also hard to imagine the little ways in which something might go wrong.

I think doing something like this is probably even worse than letting kids drink in your basement (and I wouldn't do that).[/quote]
