My son JJ moved into his new home the end of April and has a party almost every night. I talked to him about it because he had told me he had under age kids there drinking. He wouldn't listen to me and said it was his home and if the kids wanted to drink that was their problem not his. I explained about him being over 21, the responsible adult and its against the law to give or allow minors to consume alcohol in your home. The neighbors got fed up with the cars everywhere and called the police last week. The police were at his front and back door then walked in. They did a Breathalyzer on everyone there. Eight were under twenty-one and got a ticket for consuming alcohol. JJ got a ticket for contributing alcohol consumption to a minor. All the kids have to go to court and pay a $500 fine for a first offense. If the police go to his home again JJ will be arrested and have a criminal record they said. He laughs it off, says its no big deal and continues to let kids come over and drink. He has a lawyer that says he will get off. I am very worried about JJ and know he will end up in jail if he doesn't stop. The kids parents have the right to sue him if they want since he allowed them to drink in his home. I will be glad when he matures and changes his lifestyle. He's come to far to let this happen.

Gee this is hard one !.......
 I do hope he wakes up and smells the reality of what he is doing or I think his neighbors won't give up ....and the Cops will arrest him if he keeps this up ... Sorry to hear this Angelbear...... But again we all learn our lessons the hard way @ times ! So maybe JJ just has to find out on his own. (((((HUGS ))))) Allears

Gee it makes you angry dosent it when the kids take no notice especially when we have brought them up different
But unfornutaly they go out on their own and it all changes and they get so cocky and they think their way is best.
His lawyer needs to be shot dosent he saying that as he should be telling him how silly he is and what really will happen
i agree also with Allears his neighbours will call the cops they have had enough
I hope he wakes up to what will happen if the police are called again

8 underage drinkers x $500 fine each = 8 angry parents that will probably be shelling out the moneys.
 
JJ should definitely be minding his P&Q's because the neighbors will keep calling and complaining as long as JJ is having parties.

Awww sweetie, I know what you are going thru. I raised 3 son's as a single parent.
They are now 32, 31, and 21.  I tried to teach them independance and responcibility throughout their life. My mom died when I was 6 and if I were to be like my mom, I wanted to make sure my son's could cook, clean, and live on without me if need be.
I thanked God when they all reached 18 because I was allowed to live and raise them. Now... when they were 18, on their birthdays, I told them each, "I gave you all the years you needed a mom", now its time for you to show me you learned. I told them I was there for their friendship but they must live with the choices they have made for themselves. When they fall, I say a prayer and watch them stand back up. This is the only way I can help them, because if I interfer and pick up their mess, they will never pick up their own mess.
Tough Love... I know its hard, but they must realize, the real world without mom's shelter is a tough one but could be wonderful if the right choices are made.
Have a cup of coffee and sit back and let him be the man he is choosing to be.
Sometimes a hard lesson is the only lesson we learn.
Luv,
Joannie

Thank you everyone! I feel so helpless. I know he will end up being arrested because he won't listen to anyone. My friend next door yelled at him and tried to get through to him yesterday. Her son was at JJ's home when this all happened, he is 17 but doesn't drink and was not in trouble.
 
 
The police have been sent to JJ's home many times by this one neighbor who lives 4 houses down the street.
 
Parking in the yard
Noise outside playing basketball at 10:30 at night
Not mowing his lawn and the Village came out
 
 
CC-  JJ has used the lawyer many times. He got his drivers license back when it was suspended. He has gotten out of traffic tickets and now this. All he does is hand the creep $600 and he gets out of it. Its not right.
 
I am so ready to go back to Missouri.

He could lose everything if he gets sued. Maybe he needs some time in jail to learn. If one of the kids die, the lawyer can't help him.
It's hard to just leave them alone to their own mistakes.

Angel Bear you have my sympathy.  I have three boys and even grown they can try your nerves.  Hang in there, he just has more growing to do.

Wanda -  I just caught this thread and I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this.  It really hurts when our kids won't listen to us over the really serious stuff.  I think Looneybird is right...he's just going to have to learn the hard way.  His lawyer sounds like a real sleaze...$600 is nothing for legal fees, so this guy must live under a rock.  Hugs to you!
