[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So...your son doesn't sleep over at homes where you don't at all know the parents or have no way to reach them, right?

I think at the point of drop off you should have called the parents of the home where they were sleeping over and made sure the boys went to sleep and had no more access to alcohol.[/quote]

In this area, at that age, it is very likely that you don't all know the parents. My senior has friends from about 12 different schools. I've never meant half of the parents (especially of the kids he's become friends with during COVID). They are old enough to go camping by themselves. Kids this age go to beach week without parents. I'm not OK with that, but many parents are. We are well beyond the point at this age where I can insist on meeting the parents of a kid he's been good friends with for four years before he can do to their house. [/quote]

I'm not talking about "knowing" the parents.  I make sure I at least text with every parent and verify the story my kid is giving me.

Hi, I'm Larla.  My son Ralph let me know he'll be sleeping over at your home tonight.  I wanted to be sure you are aware and there will be an adult in the house with them.  Thanks!

So my future advice to OP is to at least do that. If my kid isn't willing to get the other kid's parent's contact info, he's not going.  Too bad, so sad.  He knows it's the deal and he provides the info.
