PARENTS WHO HOST, LOSE THE MOST
The purpose of a recent press conference at the Winston County Courthouse was to make the public aware of the consequences of underage drinking. This informational meeting featured Judge Mike Newell, District Attorney Jack Bostick, Insurance agent, Larry Reed and members of the Meek High School SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) organization. The legal and liability ramifications of hosting, or even allowing a party to be held with alcohol for underage children were given from the participants. Some parents have even hosted parties and felt just taking the keys away from the kids kept them out of harms way. As DA Bostick pointed out, keeping them off the road does not preclude the charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
