This thread can go back and forth, but the best thing anyone posting can do is to refocus on parenting one's own teen and keeping abreast of not only who their friends are, but who exactly are the parents of their friends.  Too many of you would never, ever think to call a parent and ask directly if there will be liquor or beer allowed at the party (really should ask "served" or gathering?  By junior or senior year in high school, it does not take that much for one to learn who"the party parents" are.

This was the result of poor decision making by all of the teens, BUT also very, very poor decision making by the parents who bought or allowed the drinking at their home.  These parents should be prosecuted.[/quote]
Honestly, you are about as clueless as they come. [b]Most teens would laugh at your advice.[/b]

The idea of prosecuting the criminal hosting parents is water under the bridge at this point. No reason for them to stop doing it. Any fine will be a drop in the bucket for them. Btw, *of course* they'll tell whatever you need to hear, just like 99% of the kids do. They're all much smarter than you are.[/quote]

Not that poster, but it's directed at parents, not teens.  ??[/quote]
Of course. 
And the kids will still laugh at your gullible self.

The question is why didn't the hosting parents 
get charged with the crime they're guilty of??

Special connections, so the law isn't for them?[/quote]

No charges have been imposed yet on anyone.  These things take time to investigate.

I think you underestimate how effective parental involvement can be.  [/quote]
Parental involvement is in fact the only answer.
But only IF you have the guts to:
Just Say No... to parties. 
If there's no alcohol, it's not a party.
It's really that simple, but the hardest thing.
