No offence taken, I also agree with you. It's a tough situation. Obviously in this case it wasn't a matter of someone's parents being away and the kid invited people over. This was more serious, and yes, something should be done. I also agree that kids (and I'm only 27) today have a sense of entitlement, and half the time I'd like to just give them a good smack. But do you punish every kid at the party, or the ones that threw it, or the ones that maybe brought booze? What good will community service do if there's no enforcement from home? Even then, sometimes the best, most open and involved parents in the world don't know what their kids are up to. I really don't know if there is an answer.
