I agree. Why was she left alone at 15? It was prob a stupid mistake one which she is totally regretting. By the looks of her dad on the tv, he isnt going to forgive and forget. As for the freaks who wrecked the place.... .........!!!!!!! ards!!!

I agree Volly, her Mum and Dad were definitely in the wrong.... I really feel for the young girl.

So what a lot of you seem to be saying, if someone is stupid enough or makes the mistake of broadcasting a party, its alright, and it can only be expected that a load of ... turn up and trash someones property. It appears that everyone is to blame who actually live in the house and not the pricks who invaded and destroyed it.

Given the number of times that someone has posted a party on Facebook only to see their home trashed, yes I do think the girl is to blame. The ... are also to blame as they did the actual damage, but the girl has to take her fair share of this blame.

Had she sent 'private messages' to her facebook friends about the party, which is perfectly easy to do' there would have been less likelyhood of any damage occuring, unless one of her friends posted the party publicly.

But no, she decided to post it publicly herself, and then wonders why all and sundry turn up. Its happened before, it will happen again, as long as people keep posting private stuff in a public way.

As for the parent, I doubt they would have left their daughter alone in the house if they knew in advance what she had done/had planned.

If we put to one side the stupidity of advertising a party on a forum and whether she should of been left alone. What the hell goes on, and it wasn't only children, reports say, people in their twenties, leave a property like a herd of buffalo have run through it, Is this what they call fun now, is this what we should expect from guests, invited or not, to wreck someones property. Lets hope their caught and severely dealt with.

SHE WASN'T LEFT HOME ALONE!!!!!!
Her parents had arranged for the kids to stay with friends but the daughter sneaked back home.
That's what I read anyway.

Lock her in a tower until she learns her lesson!!

But don't tell anyone, because that will get wrecked as well.

Aren't most of us missing the point here - yes she shouldn't of sneaked home to meet her friends and drink alcopops but what part of finding out about a party allows someone to go to a strangers house and cause criminal damage because there's a party there?

As mentioned above the society is now totally the wrong way up the girl and her parents are getting slated for someones else criminal activity. Yes she and her friends made this easier by their actions but they didn't smash anything. It's the same way that the Police are ofter blamed for not preventing crime which conveniently forgets that it isn't then doing the robbing, stealing, stabbing, shooting etc.

Rant over!

But given that we know that this crime already existed and that there have been many publicised cases of this king of thing happening what right minded person gives these scummy idiots what amounts to an open invitation?

We all know that car crime is a big thing, not just here, but everywhere. Do I post where my car is for anyone to come along and take it?

Yes the ... are to blame for the damage, but the girl is to blame for facilitating their damage by openly advertising the party in the first place.

Private message - no damage
Public advert - ransacked house

Simples

Shes made a mistake ...... but life goes on......it'll be sorted soon..... zzzzzzzz

A similar thing happened to us when our son threw a party while we were away (he's 20). He didn't advertise it on facebook but he did invite a load of k--b heads, not bad enough to make the news thank God, but my wife is still traumatised by it.

Anyone that bothered to look at the FULL story would see that she wasnt left home alone.

Everyone loves seeing what happened, having a quick "tut" then complain what "irresponsible parenting" and have a good preach!

What else can you say really? Well said aegean! It's true that Facebook needs to address fundermental issues regarding the idiots using the site-the best thing to do is make each persons page secure and then give them the option of reducing the security if they want to advertise events. Maybe then these moronic gate crashing w*nkers will be put to rest.
