Increase penalty for party host offering alcohol to underage teenagers

There is a bill in the house of Maryland which will increase the penalty for party host who offers alcohol to underage teenagers. Please support it: 2016 HB 409.

I came in contact with the father who lost his high school son Calvin Li. The pain of losing a child is incomparable and may last forever.  The father is now hosting seminars to educate parents, especially to Chinese American families. This is invaluable.

Some social media news indicated the party host who offered alcohol in the party which led to two kids’ death, is hosting another party and touting “Underage, no problem”. This is outrageous. Their son did not die in the car accident, fortunately. However, they forgot the pain caused to two other families.

We should add more deterrence to irresponsible parents like this.
