Allowing a teenager to host a house party seems like a good idea initially. It’s a controlled environment where parents can keep an eye on what’s going on and make sure that no one drinks and drives. The guest list will be limited. They stashed their own beer out of sight. What can go wrong?
Everything seems to be going great, so the parents go upstairs and watch a movie. Every once in a while, one of them will walk down and take a look. No booze is in sight. Finally they fall asleep. Downstairs, part of the party has moved outdoors. Word spread that a hot party was going on, and more than a few uninvited guests showed up with their own beer. They kept it outside, but the original guests are going outside to get a brew and bring it back inside. As the party gets noisier, the parents wake up and investigate, read everyone the riot act and send them home. On the way home, one of the (drunken) uninvited guests drives off the road; the car flips, and another uninvited guest is killed. Everyone in the car was under-age.
The next day the police come to investigate. Some of the kids said they got their beer from the extra fridge in the garage and thought the beer was for the party. The police don’t seem to believe that the parents didn’t knowingly supply it to the kids. The parents start thinking about wrongful death, law suits, providing liquor to minors, fines and jail.
