[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you care Miss Marple? Sounds like you’d love it if these parents got in trouble. I imagine these parents know their risks well and have still decided to do it.

The solution is simple. Drive your kid; stay in front the whole time (out of the view) and everyone is perfectly fine.

But instead you want to be a fly in the ointment. [/quote]

I think I'm the "Miss Marple" you're addressing.  I care for a number of reasons: (1) I would like for kids to be safe and well, even those I don't know, and events such as these carry unnecessary risks of danger; (2) I also care a lot about teens' mental health, which is floundering everywhere, and believe that when kids are too concerned about being "cool" and "seen" at the "cool" events, this is harmful to their mental health and sense of agency and self-worth - and that their self-worth is dangerously tied to these things; and (3) I think parents are negligent in serving alcohol to underaged teens and it is in everyone's best interest for parents to stay out of jail.  We are entitled to disagree on any of these points.  [/quote]
