After reading the article I know nothing more. People seem to be getting off here. How did the kid get the booze. If the kid was 17 the parents would be arrested. I understand a mistake. But this kind of thing should involve police and family services.
Not necessarily.
Mommy has parties with friends over and serves drinks from this box.
Her daughter wants to do the same with her classmate friends and emulates the behavior.
Blame the teacher for not trying some first or not noticing the alcohol smell from the Dixie cups.
Unless the mother actually helped her daughter mix the drinks there’s no need to turn this into a federal crime.
