[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true that you don't want to encourage secrecy, and you want them to trust you enough that they call you. At the same time, you don't want them drinking too much!

You're not in legal trouble, OP, since you don't have "evidence" they were drinking. No bottles, no vomit, no nothing. And police probably won't bother themselves for teens who drink quietly, don't wake up the neighbors, don't drive drunk and call their parent instead...

But I know how you feel. It's not *right*. At the same, good job parenting the child who called you :-)

Thank you. I’ve always tried to be open. A few years ago at our high school a couple of seniors died in a car accident while driving drunk. I used that as a lesson and it appears it hit home. . I am now going to put the Uber app on his phone so I’m not in the situation again. I’d rather have an Uber pick him up than me, if it is a group. [/quote]

You are both absolutely foolish to think nothing could happen to OP or the boys legally if heaven forbid something happened at the next party. Don't for a second think that the "tipsy" part wouldn't come out.[/quote]

+1. When you dropped them off did you let the adult in charge know they were drunk. What if they kept drinking? Why do you assume this was their last stop? I’m not a free Uber service for drunk teens going from home party to party. That is effed up.[/quote]
