Where on earth were you raised? Not normal in my area. Considered delinquent.


I was raised in the Midwest. My best friend and I were sneaking out at 15 and 16. We were top students, top athletes, and considered goody two shoes.

My friend went on to a military academy. We both now live in a wealthy DC suburb. We are wildly successful adults. Sneaking out was a right of passage.

They’ll still try to get away with stuff when they are allowed out. But you won’t have to worry at night.

Yup, this. With alarms on all doors and windows, and kids don't have the code. Messes them up for legitimately letting themselves in, but that's part of the price.

Not all of us believe in constant surveillance. I find the fact that 90% of the homes in my neighborhood have cameras to be really messed up. It’s not going to serve you well as we descend into fascist dictatorship. I don’t want to be recorded absolutely everywhere I go.


Would you like a list of places in the US you should avoid? Also the countries that have 98% camera coverage you might want to stay out of?

Bad behavior does not always end in bad ways.


Yes, but it’s a little like saying “I didn’t wear seat belts and I lived.” Sure, most people will be fine. And then there’s the ones who won’t be fine (who get pregnant, get hit by a car crossing a road at night, pass out drunk on the way home and die of exposure without their parents realizing they were out, get attacked by a sexual predator while they are out and never tell their parents because they knew they weren’t supposed to be out...) I think it’s fine to put reasonable limits on your teen. Some kids are good at outing limits on themselves—others are not and need more structure while their brains are still developing.


Sorry, its exactly NOTHING like saying "I didn't wear seat belts and I lived" nothing at all. You have the mental capacity of a peanut.


I agree with the idea that all the people posting about how so and so did iand they turned out great is very analogous to the seatbelt. I was just thinking the same thing.


+1 I think we all know which poster has a room temperature IQ.

Agreed. There are legal consequences.

Happened all the time in Fairfax in the 90s.

Just want to point out, this is trespassing if they enter someone else’s home or property, and these are minors. I’d call the police if it was happening to me.
Those who say it’s normal, are you all from DMV? I’m always consistently shocked at the unique parenting that happens only in the DMV.

No. It's not common. Don't normalize such behavior.


+1.

What kind of stupid comment is that of teens getting around late at night in Uber? Uber notifies the account holder of every trip.


Not true, I can’t see what trips my teens take. I get a notice that my cards been charged, that’s it.

It’s not normal. I once dated a guy (in my 30’s) who said he did this in highschool. I was, and still am, disgusted. He should have been focusing on academics.
So to OP- you should be very disturbed, you must tell the other parents involved, and get an alarm system with motion detectors. Make the kid cough up some money for this. Obviously no privileges for a while, and monitor his phone use too.
