Find out where her friends live and what they drive. Give this info to your police friends and ask if they will patrol their houses and keep an eye on them when your daughter is with them.
I would also tell her that if she ever gets arrested for drinking or smoking underage, she will be on her own and let her know that even with everything that is going on with Steph, this type of behavior is not acceptable nor will it be tolerated.

If you were my parent I would disown you.
Teach your kid to make intelligent decisions by showing first hand where these paths lead. I was lucky enough
to have one alcoholic/mental and one drug/gambling addicted parents. I got introduced to the real world real quick. Remember, alcohol is the gateway drug, and a one way ticket to cocaine, for people my age now its nuts. Cant go to one party without some jackoffs wanting to do rails... Which is why I don't party anymore, not that I really did. Cigarettes are just retarded in the fact of how much they cost, on top of that they just make you more aggravated when you don't have any. However I do love to antagonize nicfitters
. Don't hassle her friends really, not a good method, just leads to more conflicts and not moving towards the actual issue.... Just catch her red handed, remember when kids get comfortable and lax they do make stupid mistakes.
