I am so glad my parents didn't have me arrested for having house parties on Schley Drive when they were away on vacation. One time a window did get punched out, but my old friend Marty repaired it before the folks got home.
A Natural Bridge dad actually had his 17 year old daughter arrested for doing what countless teens have done when left alone at home.
Of course 'back in the day', the drinking age was 18 so a party while attending JCC was OK. In fact they used to have beer blasts at the school.
Before a parent has their kid arrested, they should consider their own parenting. Perhaps a 17 year old needs a sitter in a society intent on having a 21 year old drinking age.
As for any indescretions in my life, I feel the statute of limitations has passed on teenage house parties, although the NY Times has decreed a prep school bullying incident is relevant if running for high office.

You covered a lot of topics and got the right outlook on all of them.
I often wonder what is missing in a person's life that they feel they need to turn to alcohol.
Yes, you did. 7:28 is on it.
I painted our garage purple om a whim will drinking beers and enjoying the time my Mom was away in Army Reserves. She didn't have me arrested. Thanks Mom.
If we just simply have our "Nannies" Chuck and Kirsten ban 17 year olds, we wouldn't have this "problem."
Don't suggest it. Chucky would do most anything if he thought 51% would support it in a poll. And you know Kiieersten. She believes in nothing. But will support the Schmuck in anything he proposes. What a disappointment she is. Him, we knew about beforehand. He's a Donkey in a Dannie state. Safe, no matter what he does.
