There were no adults there and 40-45 kids in the campgrounds. So the kids were going to be run off at 10 p.m. when the park closes. The ranger didn't catch them with any alcohol, but it is present at many of these parties. We have rules at Abilene State Park, and one of them is that minors are not allowed to camp by themselves unless they have a permission slip signed by their own parent with a phone number where they can be reached. If we can't reach the parent, the child is not allowed to stay.
Some kids also come to camp in mixed groups.
When I call the parents, I let them know both boys and girls will be camping together. Then they have me send their child home. But they are your kids. We are not their baby-sitters. Know where they are.
