[quote=Anonymous]I've picked my teen up from a party that they felt uncomfortable being at.  And after he told me what was going on, I've called the police.  He described several kids passed out from drinking too much and honestly, the number of cars in the driveway and lining the street concerned me as far as drinking & driving.

I'm not some head in the clouds parent who thinks there is never alcohol at these parties.  I know alcohol is probably present at every party, even the ones where my son says "no, so and so doesn't drink so there won't be alcohol."

I didn't call the police with my kid in the car or even with his knowledge because I didn't want that to be on him.  Meaning, I didn't want him to have to deal with any guilt or keeping the secret that his mom was the one who narced if kids got in trouble.

Also, I'll say it... calling the police has made him more aware of what parties he attends.  After it started circulating on social media that the cops arrived to bust up the party, he was all "OMG, Mom, look!  I'm so glad I left when I did..."

I don't feel guilty.  I don't call the police on every party he attends, either.  It was just that specific case where he asked for a ride and then described very dangerous conditions.   [/quote]
