[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all need an education in criminal law. I'm certain you'll want to afford yourself its protections when your teen, spouse, parent, friend, etc., finds themselves in need. [/quote]
Thread takeaway: 
although DC is loaded with lawyers, DCUMers are clueless when it comes to criminal law and civil liability;
DCUMers do not understand the teenage brain and/or forget ever being a teenager and/or their kids/teens are perfect and free from poor decision-making;
many many pps should be humbled by their very good fortune in life;
people love to spout off and pontificate when they are clearly utterly clueless about the facts and law of a particular situation.

Talk with your teen today. About anything. [/quote]
Can we perhaps agree that the teenage brain (at least most of them) is not much capable of real adult responsibility? Drinking and driving, in particular, hence party attendance.

Let's be honest here.[/quote]
If we're being honest, one of my kids has been going to parties with alcohol at least since 10th grade. I know she sometimes drinks and sometimes does not. She has never driven to one of these parties. The kids call a parent, have a sober friend or older sibling drive them, call Uber or often sleep over. I'm not saying we should permit or provide alcohol, I'm saying let's not "agree" that attending a party with alcohol equals drunk driving. 
By the way, you shouldn't drink and drive either. [/quote]
