An Arvada mother was arrested recently, accused of hosting parties for teens where there was alcohol, drugs, and in some cases, sex.
Silvia Johnson, 40, said she just wanted to be a cool mom, but police told 7NEWS that her story should serve as a cautionary tale for all parents.
According to the arrest affidavit, the teen parties at Johnson's home took place over the span of a year and sometimes occurred weekly. Police say at the parties there was alcohol -- shots of tequila -- and drugs, specifically methamphetamine and marijuana. And, according to investigators, the alcohol and drugs came from Johnson, who now faces charges ranging from sex assault to contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
In the arrest affidavit, Johnson admits to having sexual contact with boys 15 to 17 years old and confesses to providing meth and alcohol. But Johnson said she did it because she was a "cool mom" and was "feeling like one of the group."
Now, she told 7NEWS that it was all a stupid mistake and she was going through a bad time in her life.
Police say parents need to know what is going on in their children's lives and investigate where they are going and who they are hanging out with.
"Establish a relationship with those parents. As a parent, you just can't say it is OK for you to go over to a child's home and assume they are safe, you can't assume that this day and age," said Susan Medina, with the Arvada Police Department.
Johnson has no known criminal history prior to this arrest. Johnson told 7NEWS that she has apologized to the parents of the teens who are connected to the case.
Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 17.
I think she'll be going through a worse time shortly
Damn fool doesn't know she's supposed to buy all sorts of licquor, leave them in the unlocked cabinet, and then leave town for a weekend.
Cool Mom! I think there is a TV series in the making here.
Imagine being this trollop's son/daughter. Ick.
Sigh, I miss June Cleaver
Stuff like this is why we don't trust any of our daughter's friends' parents until WE get to know them on a personal level. Too many of them have lied for her and allowed her to do things they know we've said no to.
>> Imagine being this trollop's son/daughter. Ick. <<
You mean being Stiffler?
Then when she'd wake up and find it gone, she'd stumble to the store for more and we'd drink half of that too.
It was a never ending cycle.
That is nasty. This reminds me of the movie "Mean Girls".
It should be illegal for some people to breed.
Being a MILF shouldn't be one's goal in life. What you have here is an immature irresponsible 40-yr-old who wanted to pretend she was 18. The fact she's a dopehead wasn't helping.
that would make a good bumpersticker.
lol my thought too
Why wern't there any "cool moms" around when I was a horny teen? I wudda given a months allowance.
It probably goes without saying there's a damned good chance this "mom" is a card carrying Democrat ...
"Now, she told 7NEWS that it was all a stupid mistake and she was going through a bad time in her life."
All she needs to do is apologize, and then they should let her go. She's the victim here. [Note Sarcasm]
"she told 7NEWS that it was all a stupid mistake and she was going through a bad time in her life"
With these magic words, all manner of evil gets explained away.
There were a few "cool moms" around when I was in high school and they creeped us out. Even at that age, you don't want some 40-year-old buying you booze and hanging out with you. So, these folks weren't "cool;" they were losers.
