GLASTONBURY — Two Glastonbury High School students were arrested after their parents came home early from a weekend trip and found a party going on at their house, police said.

When, precisely, did parents start depending on the POLICE DEPARTMENT to assist in their parenting?
Whatever happened to laying a groundwork, LONG before something like this happened, to establish the knowledge and the cognitive notion that you do NOT do something like this when your parents were not home?
My father would have tanned my ass and hung it to dry. I'm sorry. These are not parents, these are people who clearly should never had children in the first place. They made a mess out of their children. They need to be the ones to clean it up. They need to take responsibility and OWN UP to the fact that THEY created the little terrors that felt it was OK to act out something they saw in a movie, disrespect their home, and disrespect their parents in the process.
But hey, call the cops. The schools do it. Why shouldn't a "parent" ?

I was thinking about what would happen if my parents would've come home early on one of the days I threw a party.
My father wouldn't have called the cops. In fact, if I got caught throwing a rager, I would probably WISH they called the cops.
Im glad I never got caught, because it would've been a beating like no other.

Abstract
Past research into the mental hygiene movement in Canada and the United States has tended to view it in isolation from co-temporary projects funded by Rockefeller philanthropy, such as mass communications research. The mental hygiene campaign aimed to modify adult-child relations by reducing the influence parents and teachers held over children’s personality development; the central aim of mass communications research was the development of conformity of opinion. One a project of social engineering, the other of social control, the two projects combined appear to have possessed considerable potential to work in concert to shift weight in the socializing matrix from families and schools to the media at the outset of the post-World War II baby boom.

So let me get this straight... It's the parents that are responsible, not the kids. You are saying that kids should not be responsible for their own decisions and should not suffer the consequences of their actions. That is exactly what is wrong with the world today. The abdication of personal responsibility.

Why not call the cops? It's THEIR house. Most likely alcohol was involved. Which is ILLEGAL to minors. We all know drugs were most likely involved also. I would of called the cops too, teach his ass a lesson.edit on 24-10-2013 by Evanzsayz because: (no reason given)

it is illegal for children to have a party at there own house?
i could see asking for help if some of the attendees were drunk and had cars. There probably isn't a law that requires that action though. Might be open to a civil suit.
