16. Parents have been charged for allowing kids to drink

who then went on to drive drunk. I've read of several such cases. I would think there would have to be some level of awareness of the parents part. In the case I recount above, I recall thinking it unfair that the mother was essentially charged for the actions of the father. She said she didn't know her ex had been drinking. But as I say, it was several years ago, so I don't remember the details or even where It occurred.

I agree I don't think a parent could be charged just because a kid drank away from their supervision. I'm glad to her your son is doing well.
