MORE PROM SEASON FOLLIES
In my last posting, I discussed some of the issues facing parents and their children resulting from underage drinking as prom season appoached.
Unfortunately, the message still needs to get out there. An article on the 1010 WINS website last Friday reported on the arrest of approximately 50 students from Morristown H.S. for underage drinking on a bus returning from a prom in NYC. Additionally, 5 parents were also charged with allowing juveniles to drink. You can read the full story here http://www.1010wins.com/pages/4591425.php.
I'm sure that this is just one of many incidents that have and will occur in NJ and around the country as prom season wraps up.
Social Host liability is also a huge issue in Rhode Island. Parents of teenagers hsould take affirmative steps to insure that their children and their childrens' friends are not allowed access to alcohol.
Parents need to take greater responsibility for their actions
