LET my experience, and that of my daughter, be a lesson to any brain-dead adult who chooses to buy alcohol for teenagers.
My daughter is 13 and was left cold and alone, covered in mud, on a bench in a bus stop after consuming alcohol bought for her. Everyone makes mistakes and, hopefully, she has learned an important lesson from this one.
I thank God that she was found by a responsible adult before anything terrible happened to her.
But to those people who buy alcohol for minors, I would remind them that one day it may be their child and that they may be the ones in tears as they worry about the possible consequences of such action.
