Unfortunately, history will continue to repeat itself in terms of underage drinking and driving and most significantly parents who fail to take their responsibilities of parents seriously right through high school.  Two of the most dangerous times of the year are prom night and graduation time.  Sad fact that many parents, especially among the wealthy and educated class, want to be their teen's "best friend" not only in their eyes, but in the eyes of their teen pals.

In our area probably 15 years ago, two parents actually got arrested for a party in their house that lead to tragedy.  They ended up divorcing as the teen boy was the Mom's child and I do believe each did some time.  It is not only peer pressure among teens to combat, but "peer pressure" among parents.  Who of those 17 kids in attendance really would have dared to call the Kresses and ask if there was going to be alcohol AND then to keep their son or daughter home??  I do think it is appalling that the Dad was not made to go into court before a judge, but he knew how to bend the rules in his favor as after all that is what high powered lawyers often get to do.[/quote]
