They can't just come in the house like that, with no visible evidence of underage drinking outside of the home (or inside for that matter)? Where are the cars with high school parking permits? Who is the narc? I think is is more a PSA for to trick high schoolers that Police have every right to bust you no matter what the circumstances are.
F+ at best.

Thanks for the input, it is

Thanks for the input, it is good to know we got your attention, even if you don't approve.

The purpose of the PSA, and the Parents Who Host campaign in general, is not directed at the teens at all, but is intended to inform parents (and other adults) that it is illegal to provide minors with alcohol and there are penaties for doing so.

Thanks to the work of START (Stop Teen Alcohol Risk Teams) throughout the state of Vermont, police officers are able to respond to underage drinking parties with sufficient personnel and equipment to ensure the safety of young people involved while enforcing underage driking laws.

Community members can call the Addison County Crimestoppers line (1-800-432-5436) to report underage drinking parties that are in progress or that they know are planned. START is able to respond to planned parties by educating parents before there is a problem, adn they work dilligently throughout the year to educate students and parents about the dangers of underage drinking.

Anyone who cares to get more involved in prevention efforts can contact the Boys & Girls Club at 877-6344.

Thank you.

Congrats
