[quote=Anonymous]A 13 year old just died in a drunk driving accident. Kids her age get pregnant. This is a wake up call to you that she is putting herself in positions where there could be very serious consequences to seemingly benign choices.

I would have a long talk to your 12 year old about her actions and the possible outcomes of those actions. I would tell her that attending a party with drinking means that she has lost my trust and I will be checking on her location until she has re-earned my trust. That means that she is being honest with me about where she is going and who she is with. That will take time.

I would emphasize that her actions at this age can have long term consequences. That includes pregnancy, being seriously harmed or even killed in an accident, being injured or killed by people tampering with what she is drinking or taking (fentanyl and roofies). Her actions show that she is moving into an area with far more serious consequences if she is not careful and she needs to be aware of that.

I would not allow her to attend any event without checking in with the parents that she is supposed to be with. I would be checking her location on her phone or whatever device you have given her. If she is not where she is supposed to be, I would be contacting her and finding out what is going on. [/quote]
