Teens Break into Home to Party

Yikes! I hope a few parents bust a few arses for stupidity. I can foresee some community service with the kids cleaning up around the house or maybe painting or something else they need right in the heat of the day. Maybe they will think twice about visiting that home again. :angry:

SHELLY, did you say these were locals, or tourists? :roll:

...I knew this was coming! Bravo!

Great parenting and a collective lack of brain cells strikes again!

The others could be tourists they picked up at the beach.

Maybe this is the 15-year-old-strumpet's idea of a "Stay-cation"

.

This post brings to mind the thread started by a local parent asking about appropriate curfews for a 16 yo. :scratch:

There's curfew and then there's never coming home - the neighbors called when the saw cars at 7 AM!

Not that I know the parents of these children, but I doubt it was the parents fault.

Teenagers are cunning, and no matter how many times you call to check up on them-- they can fool you.

I had my niece live with me for two years and learned this the hard way.

My brother once said to me- " I tried everything with her- all the love I could give, all the discipline--- nothing is more powerful than free will."

It stinks these kids would do this, and I do hope they are all disciplined-- but again, it isn't always the parents fault.

Guess I'm just old fashioned - I blame the parents if a kid is breaking into a house instead of asleep in their bed. :roll:

I've been thinking on it and there isn't an excuse my parents would accept as to why I was out all night at that age.

Thinking back to my "cunning days," a stunt like that would have taken a whole lot of planning and a whole bunch of lying:lie: to pull it over on 4 or 5 sets of parents.
In the end, someone would probably have forgotten what lies we'd already told and then we'd have been busted by at least one set of parents-- who would have ratted us out to the rest. Then the Sh##t would have hit the fan. Doesn't sound like these kids had to go to a whole lot of trouble to get by with the folks. Sorta sounds like they parents aren't exactly paying attention.

Today's parents have gotten downright lazy and replaced what once was "parental common sense" with their ability to contact their "child" via cellphone.

As long as they call "Madisyn" on her "Ringa-Bling? Sidekick 3," everything is A-OK.

i can see this thread taking a turn for the worse in a few short hours. :roll:

I don't know if this qualifies as worse, but I was totally distracted by punctuation and grammar errors!

Goes beyond stupidity imo! ..;-)

oh I know, I see grammar errors everyday in the paper. When my son was much younger, that's how I knew if he was reading the paper or not, if he could point out the errors I had found earlier in the article.

Didn't any of you all do anything like this when you were growing up? Just curious. I know we sure did. I had great parents but they had no clue what we were up to half the time. Thank god none of us had cell phones! I think most parents would be real surprised if they knew half of what their kids were really up to.

My hand to God...at the age of 15 (or at any other time in my life) I neither commited, nor even thought about, breaking and entering a home. Call me old-fashioned--and in fear of the consequences that would have been dished out by my Dad!

Good kids unite...I never dreamed of breaking out of my home, either.

My dad (who had 4 brothers and a sister) used to tell us horror stories about the shenanigans he and his brothers got into. He said that no matter how sneaky they were about it, when they got home my grandmother ALWAYS knew where they had been, and this was way the heck before cell phones. (I'm not sure they had the other type of phone.)

I never broke into anyone's home - we only partied in the abandoned ones. And yes, I agree with you, if my son did even half the things my husband and I did as teens, I'd have a stroke. :shock:

Exactly. And if you have ever lived with a teen-- well, rather--- if you haven't--- you probably think you would know every step they take---

but you would be wrong.

All the kids are locals. I really hated to hear of this. ShallowsSquirt has grown up with the young lady who was the instigator.

While somebody's parents should have known something, don't blame the girl's mom. It's hard to raise a daughter from the Point Washington Cemetery.

I am sure that I just figured out who the girl is. Sometimes good kids do bad things. Sometimes parents (or grandparents in this situation) get mislead. I know this grandmother and trust me, she is doing ALL that she can with her grandchild. She is one of the nicest, most genuine people on the planet. She has a daughter and a grandson in the Pt. Washington Cemetery. I challenge any of you to step up and try filling her shoes for one minute before you spout off about what you would do if it were your kid.

I try to tell all of my kiddies when they muff up royally that what you do (especially when you are young and trying out your wings) does not have to define who you are. Learn from the mistakes and move on and up up up baby.

BTW... SN did you look closely at my avatar?

Honestly this isn't the worst thing I've ever heard.

At my old job there was an incident with a rental house. A guy rented the house as a congratulations to the team of soccer players he brought down to Destin. What he failed to mention when he checked in was that he was not staying at the house, but rather he was dropping off fifteen 15-16 year-olds and staying in a hotel. When he checked out he didn't even come in the office, just dropped the keys in the box. No one though anything until the housekeepers called and sounded as if they had found a dead body. They hadn't that's a different story.

What they discovered was unreal. This was a relatively new 3 story 5 bedroom 5 1/2 bath home. All of SHELLY's favorite extra's, stainless steal, granite counter tops, etc. Every piece of glass on pictures, coffee tables, and end tables had been smashed. Toothpaste had been smeared on almost every surface in the house. The kitchen had been destroyed, doors ripped off of cabinets, broken plates, broken glasses, most of the pots and pans were just missing, and fixtures ripped out of the ceiling. Most of the living room furniture had been moved out onto the back lawn and was wet from rain and burned with cigar/cigarette burns. Not one, but two dining room chairs were still stuck in the wall of the dining room. Oddly the bedrooms and bathrooms were pretty much untouched or just had normal use. The absolute most disgusting thing though was the stair case. Now I warn you to just stop reading if you can't take gross things.


Apparently on the final night the boys had gotten together and decided to see if they could urinate and get it to run down all three flights of stairs.

Pictures were taken, cleaning began, and the Sheriff's department was called. I believe when all was said and done with the grand total was somewhere around $38,000 in damage. The coach was arrested, fired, and still paying off the judgement.

The point is to not jump to conclusions that parents are neglectful, sometimes they simply trust the wrong people.

Oh crap...... my heart goes out to all involved.... including the "stepfather". I just figured out that I also know the "young lady who was the instigator" and the person whos house it was. I am certain that he would never do anything to bring this heartache on anyone but certainly did the right thing in having the authorities check on his house.

I would like to add that I never broke into a home but when we were younger many beach homes were left open.
