[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is called Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor (but 18 is not a minor... so there is that)

But as you can see, most likely MoCO is not going to charge this, maybe, but most likely not.

The idea of putting people in jail for non-violent offenses (like giving alcohol to a minor, or selling drugs) is not the way the tide is turning... see http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/07/13/obama-inmates-freed_n_7786126.html

I guess we have to wait until it's the child (or close friend) of someone with political power to curb teen drinking and driving.[/quote]

Personally, I wish they would just provide more things for teens to do on a Saturday night besides parties. The movies and going out to eat... that is it. There is NOTHING for a teen to do on a Saturday night. A teacher in MoCo tried to start a "safe" party with dancing and MoCo parents posted picture of kids dancing which looked a little provocative, they called and complained and threatened to sue and he shut it down. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Too bad, it's a shame.

I know schools go to great length to provide a safe party after proms but 1/2 the kids don't go and the ones that don't go make fun of the kids that do. They go to the dance for 1 hour and then go party, that should should not be allowed.

Why not send them into DC?  The Capital Fringe Festival is happening right now and there are a ton of wonderful shows to catch.  You can drop them off at a metro station, and then pick them up from the station when they return.  [/quote]

My kids go to Caps/Nat games, concerts, festivals, Merriweather ( but there are tons of drugs), July 4th (tons of drugs and drinking), Filmore (there was a rapper that grew up in Gaithersburg there), Nissan Pavilion etc.... it is great... if you have unlimited funds. Sure you can find stuff to do, but kids just want to hang out somewhere and be with their friends. They need a safe place to do that, that does not cost $17 for every 1.5 hours.

I am actually lucky because my kids fish/kayak/rock climb. They can do that for free basically, every single day and be tired enough to not go out. I do pay for indoor climbs though. Also, ski club in the winter $$$$. [/quote]
