That is not young, that is a child.

Yes, I was a wild child. Some would say that im lucky to still be alive.

That is why you dobbed him in.
Chidren need protecting, teenagers need guidance, and some adults need a good kick up the arse.

One of the great things about being a parent is the ability to think you will do everything a certain way and then be aghast when you find yourself doing it exactly the same way your parent(s) did....

If I thought I could deal with raising children the way my parents did then I probably would have been at it already. However, I do not and I have not so far.

Come on now - read the first post and then go from there. She did not dob him in - her co-worker did.

As a mum who wouldn't be against buying my boy some alcohol (when he's a lot older) so that he can drink it in the company of adults...I think good on your co-worker.

Alcohol in the hands of young girls/boys is not always a safe bet and waiting to see if they get in trouble first before you intervene is just as someone else said, parking the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

I might be a busy body AND a spoil sport but would rather know I'd tried to do something than just watched on, worried, not done anything just to find out later that 3 underage girls in school uniforms were found beaten and raped in the centre of town.

Might sound highly dramatic but there is a fair amount of nasty shit going on in the centre of Welly lately and guess what? There's a lot of it being caused by and perpetrated against underage drunks.

If anyone see's my boy trying to get booze bought for him by someone else (probably in roughly 10 or so years time...he is only 4 afterall and I don't think I have driven him to drink yet) you have my permission to stick yer nose in and prevent the sale going through.

THOUGH- you can give ME the booze money when you get denied thanks!

I stand corrected, I'll buy myself some booze on the way home.

Tough choice at times.

Can remember going into a bottle store when 19 or so,guy said how old?slapped down a $20 note and said same as this note,worked that time,next time didn't,turned out there were cops in the public bar and he didn't want to get him or me busted,at the time it was more the buyer who was charged rather than seller,the seller could say he showed me id last night and get away from prosecution,so I was told then.

Know a mate who was given UE results and passed,went to bottle store in uniform and got a slab of LionBrown,shit how tatses have changed.

At present my eldest girl is at uni,she is counting down the sleeps till she is 18,she gets or got her mum to get her drinks when needed,although a six pak is the most she was ever bought,have seen her at family parties and doesn't drink to extreme,mind you that could change in a week or so.When they had the start of uni piss up she said heaps of girls were using false id's,same old story go to bog through the id out window,can't kids think up any new ideas.

One night out working after dark, a girl around the age of 13 or 14 'fell' against my work van while I was sitting in the drivers seat! Gave me a hell of a shock! I rang the cops straight away!! Asking for trouble I reckon... Where the hell are the parents??? They'd probably have plenty to say if anything happened to their girl!

[hurricane_r]

man you guys are pussy's

[BiK3RChiK]

I don't think so! Too many young ones get drugged and raped under the influence and then are too shit scared to say anything to anyone... Stop the carnage, I say!! Good on you Str8 Jacket!

[hurricane_r]

of course,

[lb99]

back in the old days you could go into the Captain Cook bottlestore in your school uniform and get served

ha ha, and wests bottle store right across the road from kings...... they tended not to notice the blazers and schoolbags.
dont forget the kensington, the bay view hotel, and of course the fitzroy for booze on sunday morning. teenager could (and did) have a lot of fun back then....

[Jiminy]

I am positive there are heaps of thirteen and fourteen year olds in this country who are more than capable of getting hold of "some" alcohol and having some fun without major issue.

Which country are you living in? I'm not a big fan of 'Big Brother', but I don't believe that there are many youngsters in NZ who know how to handle alcohol. At least that's my impression every week-end when wandering down town.

There is a difference between getting drunk while having fun, and getting trashed to have fun because that's what everybody else is doing. Hell, I don't see many 18-20 year old understanding the difference, so I wouldn't expect them to know when they're 13-14...
