Teens Drug Parents To Get Web Access

Posted by samzenpus on from the grounded-for-life dept.

linuxwrangler writes "Two teens are behind bars after hatching a plan that involved drugging milkshakes they gave to the parents of one of the kids. The parents were suspicious after waking groggy the next day, and used a home drug-test on one of the remaining drinks. The teens came up with the plan in order to avoid their 10pm Internet curfew."

    Who here's betting her parents were just control freaks?

    And, seriously, they just put their kid behind bars. I bet they think that'll teach 'em.

    Obviously the reaction was excessive, but what's really going on here?

    I feel like we don't have all the details.

      I think back to when I was in college, those with very strict and controlling parents usually ended up being the kids who drank heavily and skipped class and ended up having strained relations with their family. On the other hand, those with parents who were more rational and let their kids realize that staying up until 4 AM on the phone on weeknights lead to a miserable school day the next day rather than imposing a "phone curfew" ended up being more responsible.

      I'm so glad you took the time out of your busy college schedule to interview each person you interacted with and determine how their parents brought them up as well as carefully studying them while in school to find and correlate their upbringing to their behavior in college.

    It was only sleeping medicine, jesus... they acted like their kid and her friend slipped them cyanide. Why the hell would they have their child arrested? That is not exactly awesome for a kid's career and life... not exactly what I would do if she was my child.

    But, you apparently still think that the kids should've been arrested / permanently condemned for this?

    This'll never come off their records. This should have been handled at home after the drug test came back positive.

    What the fuck kind of parents are you people?

    I assume she really just wanted to daterape her dad or maybe even a 3-some with her mom, and the internet thing is just her alibi -- as she left their bed by morning.
