Teen Party Was Cause for Greater Concern

Excuse me, Sandy Banks! Your column “The Art of Letting Them Learn to Fly Free, Safely,” (Oct. 31) tells of a friend’s daughter going to a party where the parent leaves a group of 15-year-olds, goes out for pizza and beer and then hands out the beer to the kids. You go on and on and on about today’s teens, their problems and how things have changed for teens over the years. OK, fine. Did I miss something? When, exactly, did you and your friend track down the “party mother” and have her arrested for contributing to the delinquency of minors?
