Tell Us: Blame Parents for Teen Drinking?
The principal of a Lehigh Valley high school writes a letter to parents beseeching them to stop supplying alcohol and party space to teens before tragedy strikes.
Moms Talk is a Patch forum in which we ask members of Patch communities across the Lehigh Valley to weigh in on an issue that affects parents, children of all ages, and, quite frankly, people in general. You don’t have to be a Mom, or even a parent, to have an opinion on our Moms Talk topic of the week. And, we, in fact, encourage people of all genders, ages and life situations to share their thoughts on our weekly Moms Talk question in the comments section below so that our “discussion” can become as broad and, hopefully, as useful as possible.

Streaker’s Punishment to be Kept Confidential, EHS Says
Whether or not the Emmaus High School student who ran through the field naked at last Friday’s football game is punished is a confidential matter, according to school officials.
Emmaus High School officials are remaining closed-lipped regarding what, if any, disciplinary action will be taken against the 17-year-old student who ran naked across the football field during last Friday’s matchup between the Hornets and Freedom High School. The young man was arrested by Bethlehem Police following his stunt. He was charged with disorderly conduct, open lewdness and defiant trespass and released to his parents. In an statement sent via email, Emmaus High School community liaison Nicole Bloise wrote: “Whether student disciplinary action is taken or not, due to confidentiality, the information will not be released to the public.”

Is Streaking Just a Harmless Prank?
The Emmaus streaker's peers are regarding him a hero and most grown-ups seem to think his stunt was kind of funny. Take our poll and let us know what you think.
An Emmaus teen who ran naked onto the field during Friday night’s Emmaus High School football game at Bethlehem Area School District Stadium became an overnight social media sensation. Peers immediately jumped on Twitter, setting the streaker up as a hero and calling for his liberation. The 17-year-old boy was arrested for his stunt and will face his day in Northampton County Juvenile Court. Most who commented on yesterday’s Patch story about the streaker had a “boys will be boys” attitude and termed the incident a simple “prank.” However, one very vocal Patch commenter who goes by the name “D. Nile,” found nothing amusing about the 17-year-old’s stunt. “Children exposing themselves nude in public is not funny...and people snapping …

Leave the poor kid alone. That's the problem these days. EVERYTHING is made to be such a big deal. If you aren't comfortable explaining to your young kids why someone would do something silly like that, then keep them in a bubble-there are plenty of adults that do stupid things everyday of their lives-in front of their children too.
