[quote=Anonymous]There is a family in our neighborhood similar to this situation.  The parents, while very nice, have just become super checked out and seem to never be home with their 4 kids (range in age from high school to lower school).  We've known them over 10 years now and have watched this progressively get worse.  They no longer have a nanny so all those kids come home to an empty house (including the elementary age kids) and the partying there seems to go on week days after school.  Vaping, smoking drinking, some violent behavior, and probably sexual activity (definitely lots of making out).  I know because we've witnessed it or my children saw it and told me.

One of my kids is friends with their youngest, and had been doing playdates there, until I found out there was NO adult home (happened twice).  My kid told me there were fights among siblings and friends, drinking beer, and smoking.  I actually told the parents what my kid told me but they blew it off and kind of shot the messenger.  WE've also seen these kids drinking and making out with others at the park.  It's all and all a very bad situation.

Without adult supervision on a consistent basis, teens are going to take unnecessary risks, give into peer pressures, make regrettable and bad decisions, that could have dire consequences.  OP's son is 15 and just has a few more years until college.  He can wait until then to party hard with no "adults" around.

And btw I wouldn't want my 13 year old girl or boy hanging out with 15 year olds or vice versa.  Why isn't OP's son consistently hanging out with girls his own age?[/quote]
