I'm not outing my kid for telling us the truth.

The party was in the backyard and the parents stayed in the house the entire time. There was no adult supervision so it was very easy to bring in alcohol. Parents, please do better.
Some parents use their home security cameras while hosting to keep an extra eye on the kids during a party

Anonymous wrote:Yes, there were after parties starting in 9th. But the 9th grade after parties were pretty heavily chaperoned and alcohol free. Probably because the kids couldn't drive themselves yet. I noticed the alcohol after parties started sophomore year. Most of the parties went until 1-2 am. This year, both the after parties my kids went to had security guards.

Where are the parents??
they were there, and coming down every hour or so. Kids aren’t THAT stupid though and know how to hide it when a parent comes around. Unfortunately, 14 year-old boys are strange creatures and it’s hard to know if they’re acting normal, hopped up on Halloween candy or drinking. I am not excusing what happened at all, but Are they expected to breathalyzer these kids on the hour? My kid definitely won’t be going to another party anytime soon with the same kids. Apparently one of them does edibles on the regular and his parents let him Uber all over DC going to different parties.

Older sibling dropped him off, confirmed the parents were home (she actually walked him to the door and introduced herself despite DS’s protests). DS stayed for awhile, but texted for an early pick up. Said a lot of kids were drinking and some were really drunk, vomiting. He’s my youngest and was not phased, but definitely didn't want to be a part of that scene. He said from what he could tell alcohol (hard liquor) was brought in and host parents didn’t come downstairs at all.
This is awful. What school? Did you talk to the parents?

We talked with DS about it, and he handled himself well. We are not going to discuss this with the hosts, but we will, however, steer clear of future parties hosted by this family.[/quote
You should report the parents to the school.
