    Unsupervised parties, including field parties, are unsafe for everyone. 

    After two ongoing assault investigations from last weekend, the RNC is warning young people and parents about high school parties as the school year comes to an end. Police are encouraging students to celebrate graduation without alcohol and drugs. Unsupervised parties, including field parties, are unsafe for everyone.  Parents are encouraged to speak to their celebrating students about the dangers in attending such events and to make other arrangements for them to celebrate responsibly. Parents should know where their teens will be, have frequent check-in times throughout the night, let your teen know they can call you for help, and establish a code word to signal help is needed. Teens are reminded to never drive impaired or accept a ride from someone who is, stay with a buddy, and carry a cell phone.
