NEW CASTLE — A couple arrested after allowing a stripper to dance naked at a party for Horace Greeley High School students is now under investigation by Child Protective Services for letting their 17-year-old son watch the woman's performance.

New Castle police reported Robert and Rochelle Wien to the state child abuse hotline on Thursday, Detective Sgt. James Carroll told The Journal News yesterday. The case was referred to the Westchester Department of Social Services, and a senior caseworker has been in contact with the family.

Carroll said police are required to notify the state hotline about any potential improprieties or abuse involving children under 18 years old. Nancy Travers, deputy commissioner of the county Department of Social Services, said confidentiality rules prohibited her from commenting in any way about child protective cases. She would neither confirm nor deny that the Wiens were under investigation.

The Wiens hosted a party Saturday night at their James Road home that more than 50 teen-agers attended to celebrate the end of summer and kick off the Greeley football season.

The couple's 17-year-old son, Jeremy, is a third-string quarterback on the team, and school officials have said that at least a dozen other team members attended the party. Authorities have said many students were drinking beer, and some were smoking marijuana.

When police responded for the second time that night to a noise complaint from the neighborhood, they found the Wiens and dozens of cheering students watching a 31-year-old stripper lying naked on the backyard patio.

The woman, who has not been charged, reportedly let teen-age boys lick whipped cream from her breasts and had some of them help her simulate sex acts with a sex toy.

The Wiens were each charged with endangering the welfare of a child and unlawfully dealing with a child, misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in the county jail. They are due in New Castle Town Court on Thursday. The couple have declined to comment on the case and were unavailable yesterday. A lawyer reportedly handling their case has not returned several telephone calls.

We expect this from 18 yr old boys.

Some of the partygoers were minors as young as 15. That should have been taken into consideration.
They were all HS students and some probably most not yet 18.

And the 15 yr olds who were drinking beer and doing doobies? How does that fit into your scheme of "freedom?" Dan has a point. They've probably done it before but with the aid of a friend's PARENT?

I hate limo-liberals to death.
Especially the ones that work on Wall Street
If you aren't a John Smith, free market type of the Austrain school of classic economics, you have no business being there.
But, you have to lighten up if you want the hotties and I've read enough of your stuff to know that you do.<br< Don't we all.

I think the boomer generation, is the most selfish, rude group ever!

And, this story doesn't even shock some people here. I, personally think the parents are disgusting misfits, but, then maybe they are the norm, and, I am out of step.

[FreeLibertarian]

So to condemn parents who hook their and other teenage kids up with a stripper is a "puritanical frenzy?"

Yes!

[Dawning Glory]

as a woman also...I feel the parents used poor judgement..,but better to Watch a stipper than to be lectured on the art of fisting.....These boys were old enough to have a car and do God knows what when and where the please at least this was a supervised party and Im sure these parents wouldnt let anything too outrageous go on.. Would you really think theyd let harm come to their child in their presence???

[joyce11111]

What puritanical frenzy..I see no evidence of pious behavior.

The parents are reprehisable.(oops spelling????)

That was my point. Had the 18 yr olds done this a year later in college, it's no big deal, but for the parents to organize this event for high school kids is wrong.

[FreeLibertarian]

As a woman, I find the message this sends to young men about how to treat women is appalling

Obviously you don't know much about strippers!

[Republic of Texas]

I know, as a woman, this upsets you , but read the posts before you disagree.

[Dawning Glory]

you aint kidding

[Dan from Michigan]

Do you really think that he's been scarred for life by this incident?

Absolutely, I mean by God, there was (GASP!)a naked woman there,

All 17 year old blokes should be doing this - lighten up.

Well, almost everyone that turns 18 goes to the nudity bar at least once.

I just this it's hilarious to see the reactions. 1/2 of these kids go to friends houses to drink beer and watch pornos anyway behind their parents back.

[Dawning Glory]

yea lets bring em up staight and encourage it all we can

[Dan from Michigan]

On a serious note, was it dumb what the parents did? Yes. Should the parents go to jail for it? NO WAY.

There are much more important things for the law to worry about. Like murderers.

[Dawning Glory]

straight opps

[sneakypete]

I wonder if they would be interested in adopting me?

[Dawning Glory]

YES poor judgment but at least no one was hurt !

[TexRef]

If this had been a GLADD meeting the police bust would be a hate crime.
