On the road with the Party Patrol

From the Modesto Bee. Up to 90 high school students are spending their Saturday night partying in a big workshop near Hughson, out in the country where they figure no one will notice. Most probably have told their parents they are going to a friend's grandparents' house for a birthday party. And that's sort of true, because the girl whose grandparents own the property and two classmates are celebrating their 18th birthdays. But the grandparents aren't around, and it's doubtful the kids really 'fessed up that they were going to a kegger, even though some of the kids apparently kicked in money to buy the beer.
Apparently at least one parent was complicit in all this. It's learned later that he purchased the kegs and helped load them into the back of a vehicle to be driven to the party by a minor.
These kids come from several Modesto high schools and include all ethnic groups, though most are white. A number are athletes. They are the kind we label "good kids." Read more here.
