If the "responsible party" will be advising her parents of the incident upon their return home, then would it not also imply that the responsible party is a minor? And does not this create a greater duty for the APD?

Doesn't Chapter 51A come in here?

I believe in Mass you are considered an "adult" by age 17 (although a lot of kids don't act it).

Larry, one is an adult at 18, not 17 -- and you really ought to know that.

The term is "un-emancipated minor" and you have two of them living with you.

And when your girls are 17, you (or your wife) will still have to sign permission slips for everything, because they will not yet be adults.

By the time they are 17 I will figure that out....maybe.
