Alcohol to a minor

[poster]

I would call the counselor and tell him/her that your child told you something that needs to be brought to their attention. Please call him down and discuss it with him. I've had to do this but I did let my child know it was going to happen and be prepared to talk to someone. If you think that it'd make him uncomfortable you should go with him.

I have to add......that is what I would do if I thought it was true and the parents didn't handle it.

I don't believe it.

Might be worth asking, What stories did Bobby tell you today?, for a little while.

What would bother me about this is why the interest in being drunk and beer at 11yrs old. Would make me wonder what older and younger brother are doing that parents don't know about and do I want my son around it.

..But it is legal for a kid to get alcohol from a family member, why cause problems when it isn't even illegal?
