Parents Jailed for Hosting Underage Drinking Party, Son Kills Two

WTEN in Albany, New York is reporting that the parents of a boy who killed two teens while driving drunk are now behind bars.

They were convicted of serving beer to underaged kids partying at their home last April. Folowing the party, their son was driving while intoxicated when his car crashed, killing two passengers.

Parents take note. Letting your kid drink at home isn't the answer. Be a parent and take alcohol out of the equation.
