More than 250 youths were at a party
on East Park Avenue in Long Beach Friday night.
Officials say police broke up the party
and issued summons to multiple underage drinkers.
I think it's natural for the parent that's sending
their child there to have a level of comfort
that someone's going to be responsible for their child.
The parents of the household received a summons
from police for social host violations.
Which happens when they knowingly allow someone under 21 to drink.
A lot of these social host law violations
are a violation of that trust with the other parents.
Saturday night in Old Westbury,
police responded to a party on Pine Tree Lane
where they found 200 high schoolers,
many showing signs of intoxication.
Two teenagers were found unconscious from excessive alcohol
and taken to the hospital.
51-year-old resident Efrat Fridman was arrested
and charged with social host law
and endangering the welfare of a child.
53-year-old Thomas Quinn was also arrested
this weekend on Fairfield Ave in Mineola.
I think the party was kind of closed
and everybody was standing on the street and
Nassau County Police showed up and the kids just dispersed and,
you know, no violence, no vandalism.
Police say they found a large group of people, many under 21 years old,
with empty alcohol containers.
Police also responded to calls about parties at East
Go home.
If children learn about a party
or see a party that's getting out of control,
they're concerned about their classmates,
they should absolutely call 911.
Those calls can be anonymous.
The police will respond
so that everybody is healthy and everybody is safe.
