[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes to the cops, yes to notifying the school.

I for one would also speak to the parents who hosted the party and let them know about their liability if anything should happen to a kid that no freaking insurance company would ever touch.

Depending on what school it is, the kid can get in a lot of trouble.

These parents are just setting their kids up for binge drinking and all the crap that goes with it in college. Good for you for being a real parent.

i would be careful not express any anger or disappointment in your own child. They are going to come across drunken idiots time and again and they need to know how to navigate it.[/quote]

Many good points except, from my experience, for binge drinking.  [b]Many of the women I knew who binge drank in college, especially beer pong, etc, had never touched alcohol in HS. [/b] Of these many, a good chunk regretted their decisions.  Still remember a room mate sobbing for playing strip poker the night before.  In the course of talking, I told her if she wants to have a beer, then have one.  Don't hide behind drinking games to do so.

I don't know how we will handle when our kids are this age.  Already panicking about it.  I don't plan on becoming the party home, but also don't want to be in denial about what teens do.  [/quote]

Research does not support what you suggest.
