You have no idea how many parents walk into a Police Station and want to report their teen missing because they didnt come home the night before but then have no idea whatsoever who their kids friends are or where they hang out.
99% of the time their kid is at a friends, but we cant start looking if we dont know where to look.

Introducing yourself to a parent at the door and making sure they are home is not helicoptering, it is parenting.
Know your kids friends and their parents, you dont have to hang out but you should be able to put a face to a name and know where they live.[/quote]

Nope - sorry. I know all the kids my daughter hangs out with. I know many of their cell phone numbers and IG's. I do NOT need to know their parents or put a name to a face. This isn't preschool. My concern is my daughter, not socializing with her friends parents. [/quote]

It isn't socializing it's knowing who your kids are with and what they are up to. It's basic parenting. My kid is only 11 but was invited to sleep over this past weekend with a new friend. We are new in the neighborhood and barely know the family. So I made him have the kid's mom text me so I could confirm with her that it was ok and that they knew how to reach me if necessary. Granted, my kid is a bit younger than what we're talking about here but I can't imagine letting him go off to some random party in two years and not at least know that an adult is in the house.
