Can you kill teenagers?

Cause, you know, being the co-parent of a teenager, what you really want is a phone call at 12:30 on a Sunday from your city police following up on a missing persons case where your son is the last one known to have seen them...

It's really not that bad. A pair of teenage girls didn't call their mothers last night (and they didn't go home). The mother of one of them had called here first looking for my kid, so I called him and said "Tell her to call her mother." She didn't. Then mom, for some unknown and totally whacked out reason, called the cops. And she couldn't have waited that long because the cops called here within, oh, an hour of mom calling here the first time.

I mean, ok. I understand being freaked about not knowing where your daughter is. For some reason, it *is* different raising girls than boys. Probably mostly because the girl is the one stuck with the baby if worse should come to worst.

Not that I'm saying that that's what happened. From what I can gather, there was some necking but no actual sex going on. (BTW, the boys are both 18, the girls both 17). But even if you *thought* that's what was going on... why call the cops?!? I mean, seriously! Wait 'til she gets home and then ream her a new one and ground her until she's 30, but calling the cops? Cause the cops did call my son's friend's house. He told them exactly where they were (sleeping on the couch). They hadn't been drinking. There was no drugs involved. He told them the address and the cops came and picked them up.

I understand being pissed at your kid... but having them arrive home, in a cop car, for all the world to see, because they didn't call home and tell mom where they were??

Gimme a break.
