If that was my daughter, the headline would have read "Gir's Mother Pulls Gun on Frat Boys."

You'd better believe that if some punk convinced my daughter to go to some party, drove her 40 miles away, offered her brews, and left her stranded I would not only want to know who was throwing the beer blaster, I would want to know the name of the punk, his home phone number, and his parents' names, too!

And after I got my beloved baby girl home, I would whomp her ass, ground her for life, and never let her forget it.

Someone very dear to me was raped at party. The POS she was with spiked her cola (no, she was NOT drinking) and it ruined her for years. Yes, her parents called to make sure it was supervised, yes, they drove her there and picked her up, and yes, the party was *supposedly* chaperoned. The truth was, the "party parents" went into the city, the kids were getting drunk, and when this girl told her date she wanted to leave, he offered to drive her home early. "Let me just grab you a soda for the ride."

A soda with a date-rape drug in it. When her parents came to pick her up later, she was too devastated to say anything to them. The truth came out weeks later, when she tried to kill herself.

Folks seem to think this was just all perfectly innocent. Obviously, they don't have kids. Parents ALWAYS fear for the worst when it comes to their children, because when the stop being afraid, the WORST does happen.

Give that Dad a citation for Restraint in the Face of Extreme Provocation.

I'm very sorry to hear about what happened to your dear friend. Because she was driven both to and from the party by her parents, and because "party parents" were believed to be chaperoning, I assume she was not at a college age party, but a high school one. Her circumstances are very unfortunate, and very different from the circumstances of these two 17 year old girls, who were at a college age party.
Seventeen year old girls have no business at a college frat party. Fraternities are not unreasonable to assume all guests at their parties are at least of college age, if not students at their campus. They also have absolutely no reason to want 17 year old girls at their party, and therefore probably had no idea of these girls' age.
If the father of two 17 year old girls was at my frat house demanding his daughters, we'd want them the hell out of there every bit as much as he, especially if they'd been drinking, seeing as how we probably didn't know they were 17. Therefore, I'd assume the fraternity brothers surrounding him was a result af his demeanor, which was probably very volitile and threatening, seeing as how he's the type to pull a gun on a house full of strangers.
If a middle aged man, or woman for that matter, whom I'd never met before approached my fraternity house during a party brandishing a gun, the fact that he believed his/ her daughters were present at my house would immediately become completely irrelevant. Law enforcement would certainly be called, and I would expect the man to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

We knew of a similar situation, but it involved a bachelorette party at a nice hotel. The girl was given a drugged drink right at the dining table.

She escaped getting attacked later, but she had a bad experience with the drug.

You really can't be too careful these days.
