Nah frick that. Sports is an extra curricular.. It's a nope a dope. Maybe next school term when you can act right.
If the school/team can discipline, or suspend him for breaking team and school rules...why wouldn't you do the same for breaking YOUR rules.

Was the prom date at the party at your house?
If yes, not so innocent
If no, talk to her parents about your decision.
Who was to drive them to the prom? Can 15 year olds drive without an adult inthe car?

You didn't cause this. Your kid did.
Tough situation. Good luck. Hope your kid smartens up.

I think the heat needs to be turned up on the kid. I vote no homecoming, and that should only be the beginning. He was bold enough to throw a party at your house, and drink your alcohol with other kids days after finishing his grounding for vandalism. That is a severe violation. The consequences should be every bit as severe.
I wouldn’t take away the baseball, but I would take away every aspect of his social life. Hanging out with friends is a privilege that requires a degree of trust, and he continues to violate all of it. I would take away everything to the point that his life is only school, family, and baseball for an indefinite amount of time until he can prove to be trustworthy, and respect other people’s property.
I would get outdoor cameras to prevent sneaking out. If he gets rebellious, a strict military school may have to be in order.

Did not read all the post but look into a program like outward bound. Friends son was counselor and it is tough and no chance for trouble unless want to fight counselors. Even as a counselor some of those kids were big trouble. May straighten him out, he will hopefully see Joe easy he has it at home if follow the rules. Also will see how some kids don’t have living parents that care about them and just maybe will show some respect.
Other is military school

If the OP isn't a troll, then your piece of shite kid needs his arse kicked. Either by you or a third party.

No it's not. He made a commitment to the girl he invited, and her parents have likely invested money to get her there. It's a pretty big deal to have your date back out the Monday before the dance.
Any decent parent of a daughter would gain respect for another parent who instills discipline in a son, and makes him understand that actions have real consequences, which include not being allowed to go to homecoming, even if a date was promised. At the very least, I would appreciate it.
I would tell my daughter that is the luck of the draw with homecoming dates. She needs to hang with guys who can fulfill their commitments.

This is only showing him he can get away with acting like an a-hole with a slap on the wrist. I’m guessing it’s not the first time which is why he acts the way he does. The time to fix this behavior was about 10-12 years ago. At this point, there should be no half measures.

None of this sounds like a huge deal to me. He borrowed the parent's car without permission. I've done that as a teenager and so have most of my friends.
Parents go out of town, so me and some buddies get into the liquor cabinet. Who hasn't done that?
Kid is very well liked, gets good grades, is happy and well adjusted etc. This is just normal teenage shenanigans. Should he be punished? Of course. Does he need military school or some youth camp shite? Absolutely not, b/c you'll probably end up with a not so happy kid after that.
You're way overreacting imo

Where I’m from the saying is “raise your kid so the state doesn’t have to”.

Sounds like a cool kid. I would've partied with that dude when I was a 15. I don't know the details of the transgressions, but on the face, none of it seems that crazy:
Stealing car: Is this just sneaking out the family car? I did that, and so did just about every friend I grew up with.
Egging houses: Guilty
Ruining paint job on brother's car: Need more details.
Hosted party with alcohol: Guilty as well, many times.
There is a difference between angry, disrespectful kids who ignore authority, and fun-loving kids who break the rules trying to have a good time.
Which is your kid?
I did some of these things as well and turned out well, but I wouldn’t let my kid get away with what I did.

Make him join the Boy Scouts. That should shrivel up his popularity.

This is the exact modern parenting type of response the OP was looking for to justify allowing her renegade kid to go to Homecoming this weekend and continue playing baseball on TWO baseball teams. Most of the responses on this 13 page thread are heavily in favor of putting him in a chokehold socially. Meanwhile OP has been totally MIA in the thread outside of maybe 2-3 posts. I assume this is because she's not liking the responses that she came here and asked for.
This kid has NO respect for his parents and does not fear them AT ALL obviously! It's probably too late to change that outside of something really serious occurring like a DUI or worse, which tends to happen with this caliber of teen reprobates.
