I am out of touch or something (?) but why were two 15year old girls in Newquay with their parents consent ....

I would have concerns about letting my 17 year old son do this!

What happened to parental responsibility

What's staggering? that this made it to the BBC news? that they had managed to eek a 1L of vodka out between 2 for 24 hours? or that they had chosen to go to Newquay?

Firstly, you are assuming the parents knew where they were, I seem to recall when I was that age that 15 yr old girls used to lie to their parents that A was staying at B's house and vice versa! But, since Codders isn't around I'll need to step in and suggest that actually this is part of the way we learn and develop when the nanny state isn't interefering in our every move. Certainly when I was that age there were camping and youth hostel trips etc. Although the destinations were somewhat more remote than Newquay.

Its a normal weekend out for alot of teenagers, just they got caught.

Perhaps more newsworthy down here because it comes on the back of this.

Are you deliberately trying to be a tit? Or, are you a tit, you tit.

Our generation may have gone in for a bit of sneaky drinking, but weren't delivered, underage, to some far flung destination which had a more than a dubious reputation. If you consider this normal parental behavior, goodness knows what sort of upbringing you've had.
