17 year old goes on a senior trip to FL for Spring Break and it's not unusual? If there was alcohol involved, somebody is facing criminal and civil charges....

He had a lot of fun, didn't he...
Any parent that allows their 17 year old go on a trip like that is pathetic and shares responsibility for the consequences.

that's your opinion. I disagree. The guy was 17. That's a sr. in h.s. Thats plenty old enough to do whatever you want.

What are you...fricking 12 years old? A 17 year old is a minor. He can't enter into a contract, vote, or obtain unrestricted employment to name a few. Please don't procreate.

yet he is old enough to pick his college, have a job, drive a car in most states, and even sign up for the armed services.

stop with the cheap insults and think about it.

Florida is a pretty long way from ohio, i agree.

spring break is for college kids, not 17 year olds. still, a lot of HS seniors go off to celebrate

yeah

to let a bunch of kids drive long hours from Ohio to florida for spring break is indeed irresponsible parenting in itself.

Get a clue...... and read this and if that's not enough, the BIH Study in 2006.
Perhaps, after reading the scientific data you'll learn something and grow up a bit yourself.

Matt James was a fine young man.

He was a teammate and classmate of my son.

We are friends of the family & have known Matt for years.

RIP #78.

Prayers to Jerry & Peggy, his parents.
