link BARRINGTON, R.I. -- A Barrington couple refused to allow the police into their home after the police discovered more than 20 teenagers drinking in the basement while the couple was away on vacation. The police couldn't charge any of the teenagers because the homeowner, John Place of 416 Sowams Rd., refused to allow them into his house. Place and his wife, Susan, had left their 19-year-old son, Corey, home alone while they reportedly vacationed in Maryland. When the police responded to reports of a loud party, they could hear yelling, laughing and music coming from the basement. When the police lifted the exterior bulkhead door, they said that they were "immediately overcome with a pungent odor associated with alcohol." After speaking with the police off and on for 40 minutes, Place said he didn't want them entering his house. DeCrescenzo told Place to get someone over to his house and Place called a friend, Joanne Mercer. Corey let her into the house and she immediately locked the door behind her. "She kind of relayed this to her husband and he said he absolutely did not want to allow the police into the home" House party!

I would do that too, why would I want my son to be arrested?

Best parents = irresponsable parents?

This comment is so true Dave F. Can't blame the homeowner. I wouldn't want the police rummaging through my house if I wasn't home. Kids will be kids. The main thing is - prevent them from driving drunk. If they wanna have a sleepover at someone's house, and they drink a bit - what's the huge deal? We're asking 18-year old kids to go to Iraq. We're giving them machine guns and tanks. Then they get their bodies blown apart, and we won't let those same kids have a beer? Where's the frakkin' logic in that?

Hahah. If that were my parents, they'd probably be partying along with the teens :P

DyingDegree said: "Best parents = irresponsable parents?" This. I find it disturbing when people start thinking that good parents are parents that won't stop their kids from doing something stupid or potentially dangerous.

I'd do this unless my son was a dropkick of a kid. Strangely, I know a kid named Corey and he's 19. Coincidence?
