Ok...I find this rediculous

If they didnt' like the policies and safety of the school...then why did they send their son to that school? Also... you child is very responsible for his own death if he was intoxicated and jumped down a trash shoot. Im sorry he is dead, but people need to start making their children be responsible for their actions. The father stated that their son was vulnerable to alchohol....then you should have made him stay closer to home so you can babysit him. Children are going to drink wether you like it or not...if they want it that bad...they will get it. Its the schools job to give your child a good education and they do take measures to make them safer, but they are not constant babysitters....your child was an adult.

mammag replied: That's unbelievable. He was 19....it was a college for goodness sake! I find it hard to believe they didn't know the types of things that go on in college dormitories.

I agree, they should have kept him at home if he had issues with alcohol. Anyone knows that a college dorm is not the best place if you need to avoid alcohol.

I don't see how this lawsuit could possibly get anywhere....it would be wrong if it does, imo.

not the schools fault

the kid acted on his own judgement, if he is "vulnreble" to alchohol (like everyone is) then he should have taken the precautions

parents need to teach these kids this stuff before they go to college

parents need to stop blaming the school...if it is an elementary school ok they are responsible but this is a UNIVERSITY for adults, they are responsible for their own actions

useless litigation and frivilous law suits

Boo&BugsMom replied:
AMEN! This world is lacking so much common sense it makes me sick! Parents need to start taking responsibility for their children so children will start taking the responsibility when they are older for themselves. People want to play the blame game because it's easier that way, instead of being realistic and using good judgement.

Or course they want to blame the school...heaven forbid they admit they shouldn't have let him live in a college dormatory! Any way you see it, the "child" was an "adult" and he could have gone to the college regardless if his parents wanted him to or not. As sad as it is, the kid didn't use common sense and did somthing dumb, and it's his own fault he died.

I read the article, and I agree with you. It's not the college's fault. The kid was 19, he's old enough to know right from wrong, good from bad. And let me just say, even if the college did put a no alcoholic beverage policy up, do you really think that would have helped??? I don't think so. I too am sorry that the kid is dead, but don't make this into a money issue. The parents should own up to the fact that this is their sons fault, not the school. Maybe they should be responsable for not paying enough attention, but it's deffinately the kids fault. Some people will do anything to make a buck.

redchief replied: It's very sad that alcohol has drastically shortened another person's life. I watched that whole story unfold in the local news here and I can't find any fault with the school. Unfortunately in today's litigous society someone else has to be responsible for this young adult's poor choices. The attitude that someone else must be to blame for the idiocy of others really irks me; not to mention what it does to my insurance rates.
