[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 59424, member: 3893"] Not having proof of what actually happened over the last sleepover, I'd assume they were all equally guilty. Make guilt by association the rule. Hold him accountable for the bad decisions his friends make. Maybe that will help him think twice about his choice of friends. Besides, I don't think you'd get a straight answer if you interviewed them anyway. Once grounding is over, I think I'd tighten the reins on supervision for a while - one friend at a time and stay in the house for sleepovers. Gotta prove you are again responsible enough to be left unsupervised. The friend issue you have no real control over unfortunately. He'll have to figure that one out himself but if he's held accountable, he should make better choices. Don't you wish you could hibernate through the teen years? [/QUOTE]
