[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m crying with laughter at how many parents are deluded about the nature of college - as “safe” with “systems” and “not structure” to turn to in cases of emergency. Nothing could be further from the truth IME.[/quote]Relative to a beachhouse rental? Yes, it's safer.[/quote]

Nope, it’s not. But you go ahead and believe that if it helps you sleep at night. Life is scary and teens make a lot of bad decisions but that’s all part of growing up. [/quote]

So law enforcement officials from these beach towns who are pleading and begging with parents from MoCo to know how dangerous and scary Beach Week is are what? Just fibbers and liars looking to keep suburbanites from having a good time?

Law enforcement is not begging anybody to do anything.

Ocean City has made serious changes to beach week over 20 years providing housing, safe entertainment and information for parents. It’s part of their outreach to keep parents informed and students safe.[/quote]

There was a brawl on the boardwalk that made national news for its violence and chaos: https://www.delmarvanow.com/story/news/local/maryland/2020/06/19/ocean-city-boardwalk-fights-violence-details-videos-police-reports/3213865001/

[quote]Many have been critical of senior week — June is the traditional month for graduating high school seniors from Mid-Atlantic states to vacation in the resort — as the root of recent unruliness in the town, which has been captured in various social media videos.

Delmarva Now's analysis found 20 of those 103 arrests were of people 18 or 19 years old, while the remainder were suspects age 20 or older.

From June 1-14, Miller told Delmarva Now two dozen juveniles have been arrested in the town.

The police department provided documents to Delmarva Now for 21 arrestees charged between June 11 and June 13. All of those are for adults, as records for juveniles are not available to the public.[/quote]

Ocean City is trying to clean it up, but do not lie and say Senior Week/Beach Week is now "safe." It is what it has always been.[/quote]
