Community Connections presents the NET television production “Your Kids Are Drinking,” a documentary that examines the most under-reported aspect of underage drinking by youth – the adults that allow it to happen. This documentary includes a visit to a small Nebraska town celebration where heavy drinking is a tradition and families protect their teenage drinkers. In a larger community, cameras capture underaged decoys purchasing liquor from stores and restaurants. Finally, one family’s tragic story illustrates the horrible consequences of teenagers drinking before they can handle its effects. From tougher parenting to a hard-line from law enforcement officials, there is a new emphasis on how adults need to take responsibility for the drinking behavior of teens.
This event is open to parents, youth, community leaders, teachers, special event board members, city council, churches, and all interested parties. Everyone is strongly encouraged to attend.
