I just read a similar story and posted it on my blog yesterday. In that one a woman got 30 days for providing alcohol to minors. Although, in that case it seems it was being handed over in public places as part of "booster club" activity. I have sweated this one myself many times.

This is what happens when the Baptist white trash get the vote and take over the state. Blowback form the Civil rights era, I guess. I can't imagine such a thing happening when the Episcopalians ran the state. This is only one of their brain-dead laws. "As for MADD, the woman who founded the organization quit a few years back because MADD moved from its original goal of stopping drinking & driving to an anti-alcohol crusade." What is it about housewives and wanting to run the world? They act like they think they are everyone's mother. It’s not surprising that this is happening in Virginia.

I came close once ... the punishment was harsh for breaking the loose rules. I will try and follow the same with my children (three girls under 8). In fact, the elder two have had sips of wine, and even beer. They currently say they don't like it. I hope we have already started to demystify alcohol for them.

Ironically, on his 21st birthday, he went out with my folks and forgot his I.D. The waitress wouldn't serve him even with my mother vouching for his age. As for MADD, the woman who founded the organization quit a few years back because MADD moved from its original goal of stopping drinking & driving to an anti-alcohol crusade. She said that anti-alcohol was decidedly not what she had in mind.

The article doesn't mention (that I saw anyway) how much the other parents knew about what was going on at this party. Either way I think it was an overreaction but I don't think it is as simple as has been implied. Well the basic problem comes in with making decisions like this for other parents children.
