The problem will not go away until parents become parents and not try to be their kid's best buddy. Kids have, for ages, and will continue to try and get away with anything, including drinking. Until parents step up to the plate and enforce their rules (assuming they have any rules) this problem will not go away. This is not about information it's about responsibility. Until parents start taking some responsibility for their kids actions and not enable them to break the law no amount of information is going to help.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
