I totally agree. It’s not fair to sue the family just because she was at their house. I’m sure she drinks often and at a lot of different places and she should’ve known to not drink since she was underage. I have a daughter myself and I hope to teach her to make better choices but can’t blame others for her shortcomings.
You can’t even put the full blame on the driver because she knew he was drunk and was to intoxicated herself to make a smart decision and not ride with him. So if he would have died and not her should she be sued for allowing him to drive drunk? It’s crazy how people can place blame on others just to make their child out to be the angel. Get real. I’m sure she was drinking every weekend at a number of different places and have driven with drunken friends plenty of times. It just caught up to her.
In defense of Curious, I doubt he means that we should know where our children are all the time. He is trying to show how it is unfair to blame the host of the party for not knowing every action of every guest. So the parents should sue themselves first for knowing exactly what the host knew, nothing. She was old enough to know right from wrong and should have made a better choice.
I think we ALL should sue the family of the girl, for trying to get money, for them not raising their daughter well and letting her out to go to the party and not using better judgement themselves. Good Idea!!!
You’ve all made some good points. I only know what I know based on the information from the original news article and anything else would be assumptions. What we know is that the parents who hosted this party were providing alcohol to underage drinkers. This is illegal and even though we all know it happens, I would “assume” that some parents who’ve hosted parties like this are more careful regarding all aspects of hosting such an event. What we don’t know is if this girl who died did this a lot or maybe it was her first time drinking. Doctors will confirm that teenagers still don’t have the reasoning capacity of adults so they need some help with these decisions. If this were my child, I would be devastated and would want some details from the events of the evening and whether all who have posted comments agree with me or not, the parents who hosted this party bear a legal responsibility, along with the driver AND the young girl who died.

Technically no one knows if she was drinking or not. So again the home owners shouldn’t be sued.
