When my brother graduated HS he and his friends wanted to go on a senior trip. None of the parents were comfortable letting them go (although I went after my senior year without chaperones), so I said I would go with them and chaperone, I was 24 at the time.
All the parents knew me and okayed it. I let them drink beer the whole week but limited their liquor. They had a beer bong that I took from them every night after they had their rounds. They had a balcony and I told them no one was allowed out there after drinking. They all respected the rules I set out. They all got hammered, yet never too bad.
With that said, I think there is a happy ground where they can drink and have fun without going overboard.
I feel terrible for the James family after such a tragic accident. But the police will investigate and those parents that chaperoned better get attorneys.
If I was a parent that trusted my kid with you and you let them drink all week. We would have issues.
Well, you would just be considered a naive parent, that would let your kid go with parents that you did not know. You can say that you trust someone, but not to know that they would allow drinking, is just not knowing, it's (Naive/Ignorant).
I took these kids with the understanding that they were going to be having a good time. The difference was that it wasn't college spring break week, so it was just a group of friends who partied with each other before they all went their different ways for college.
I started drinking when I was a sophomore in college and my parents knew for the most part and said that if I was going to drink it better to do it in someone's basement and stay the night than to sneak around and end up driving.
