Would you let your teenage daughter go to this party?

This guy who is the manager of a fast food outlet is inviting other employees to his 21st. However, he is telling the young girls who work there to "come to my party and get completely wasted". These girls are 15 and 16 years old. If I were their parent I would not let them go to that kind of party and also think that the guy is way out of line, not to mention breaking the law. Would you let a 15 or 16yo girl go unaccompanied to a party where there is going to be lots of alcohol and young men who are going to be doing a lot of drinking?

I think I'd be reporting him to the authorities. He is breaking the law, and I'm quite sure would lose his job if the company found out. Do the girls a favour, keep them from being molested by this creep, and call the cops on him.

Definately not! Depending on the fast food outlet, there are rules about that. I worked for Hungry Jacks (Burger King) and they have rules about crew associating with managers outside of work. I know of one guy who lost his job for it. So depending on how far you want to take it, you could let the company know what he's doing. I would definately not let my daughter go because she would be put into a very vulnerable situation. It would be too easy for someone to take advantage of her. That may make me a hypocrite (I went to a 21st party and first got drunk when I was only 13), but I think that also means I am speaking from experience. I wish my parents had stopped me from going. Although, it is hard for them to stop me if they don't know where I'm going...

NO! Absolutely not! It is completely unprofessional of him to even invite his employees to such an event, and definately illegal to ask underage girls to come and get wasted. If it were one of my daughters working under this "man", I would report him to corporate, they have strict rules about this! I had a problem with my girls and a blockbuster employee, he no longer works for blockbuster. Some of these guys get jobs where younger girls work just to prey on them. I urge you to take action, before some young girl is put in a position she can't handle, and would possibly be afraid to report/talk about later. Take care, Acuity

No I would not allow my 15 or 16 yo to go to this party...he is up front about the type of party it will be...It is illegal for him to have underaged people at this party...and he could go to jail..It would be a foolish decision to allow young people to go to the party....He needs to stick to inviting people above the legal drinking age...or face the consequences....

I wouldn't allowed these young girls to come to that party if that means this party is serving alchohol for their guests.

Yeah, that guy IS out of line. I'm 16, and yeah parties like that are always thrown, but not by 21 year olds inviting 15 year olds girls. That's just a little bit messed up.

I will not allow that to happen!This is outrageous!The best way to prevent such things is to educate the kids from young that they should not associate with such people.It's like walking into a trap...someone should report this to the company he's in.

I wouldn't allow it but then again if you let them out of the house because they say they are going over to a friends for a sleep over who is to say they wouldn't go anyways. I did that when I was 15/16. Girls at that age are flattered when older guys look their way. The manager is out of line inviting them over to get trashed. I would call the owner and tell him what his manager is doing.

Well, if the daughter was smart she just wouldn't have told her parents. :P Just kidding. But, kids will be kids. And, as a parent, if you find out about a party like this, I would not let my child go. If they were 17 or 18 I may, but when you know what will be going on at a party and do not agree with it, I would not let her go. There will be occasions, however, where you will not know what is going to go on at a party. Things happen, and this is how we grow up. We experiance things. Tell her she can go if you go with her. :P Tell her it's the only way she can go. If she's anything like the 15 and 16 year olds I know, this will keep her far away from the party.

NO WAY. The dangers are obvious, no way would I allow any kid that age to attend the party.

not only would I not allow my daughter to go I would report him to the head office. The is not the type of manager I would ever want to be in charge of my store. He is irresponsible, breaking the law. and quite possibley setting people in harms way, the very least is a drunk teenager, Can you imagine the consequences if this party goes through. It is mind boggling, to say the least, He needs to be locked up for this thinking this never mind actually doing it.

I would suggest not to go there,but if it's too tempting to resist, the girls should go as a group and stay in close groups.Secondly, a mobile should be kept handy in case there's an untoward incident. By the look of it, the guy seems to have a plan for a wild party,so girls should decline the invitation,if they're not mentally prepared for it.

I personally would not let my teenage daughter go and I can't help feeling that this manager is out of order for inviting them. Sadly children don't seem to be allowed to be children for long enough and i feel they have all the time in the world to go to such parties once they are old enough and mature enough.
