Then they tried to pull the guilt game on me how I ruined my daughters senior year since everyone in school is going to hate her.
Well every action has a reaction, this is the second time we caught her and god only know how much she has done we do not know. Personal I hope her moms keeps her grounded for a long time so this kid will learn. Unfourtanetly she is already posting on Facebook how she can't wait to go off to college next year and get away from us.

I assume your goal in this is not to ruin her senior year, and believe me; her friends may sit and talk about this incident for the next few days.. but besides the occasional "remember when your step dad crashed that party? yeah that sucked!" or the people that got in trouble with the authorities, nobody will hold it against her. Isn't it a parent's job to care about their child's safety and the safety of other peoples children?
In most cases I don't blame the kids. As most people in this thread have said "sounds like me at 17" you'll never be able to stop everyone from drinking. That's just a fact. However, if more parents gave their children RULES or punished them, you may be able to lower the amount of kids out there doing stupid things. My parents are moderately strict, but nothing compared to what I hear about in their childhood stories. but hell, almost all of my friends DO NOT have curfews. There's the first place they went wrong. My mom always made my sister come home and give her a kiss goodnight so she could smell if she had been drinking. (me not so much, because I don't drink very often)
Like I mentioned, you will always have kids out drinking.. I just wish more kids would be smart about it. If I ever drink first, I make sure I'm staying the night at the persons house. and second, I make sure someone who isn't drinking has my keys. I may be impressionable enough to allow peer pressure to kick in, but I am not dumb enough to drive drunk.. or let someone drive me home that is drunk.
there's my thoughts on this subject, ignore them if you think I'm just a dumb kid... but that's just how I feel.
