Social Host: Protecting Yourself And Your Children :...
Social Host: Protecting Yourself And Your Children Wednesday, March 26, 2025 at 6pm Burlington High School Auditorium Presenter : Kathi Meyer- Sullivan As a parent it's important to understand the significant consequences surrounding underage drinking— whether it's at a party, a friend's house, or your own home. Join us for an informative session where we'll dive deep into the implications of these actions, both in the short and long term. Key Topics Covered: Legal Implications: What happens if your teen is found drinking underage? Are the consequences different if they’re in your home versus someone else’s? Learn how social host liability laws work and the potential civil suits that can arise from providing alcohol to minors. The Safe Harbor Law: We’ll explain how this law works in the case of medical emergencies, offering some protection from legal consequences when seeking help for your child in distress. Impacts on Students: Underage drinking can lead to immediate issues, like chemical health violations, which can affect your child’s participation in school athletics and extracurricular activities. Long-term consequences include disciplinary action and lasting damage to their academic and social future. Parental Responsibility: As a parent, you’re not only accountable for your child's safety but also for the actions that take place under your roof. Learn how being proactive and checking in can make all the difference. Real-Life Context: Hear about a local story involving underage drinking, and how it could impact the students involved. Understand how the behavior observed in local high schools, including BHS, affects students and their futures. This session will include valuable insights, real-world stories, and actionable advice on how to keep your child safe while protecting your family from potential legal and social consequences. Don’t miss this essential talk on navigating the challenges of underage drinking and keeping your teen on the right path.
