Youth arrested for possession of alcohol at airport party
Top Headlines However, 18-year-old Christopher Moran has not been charged with supplying alcohol, police Lt. Jonathan Carroll said Thursday. Although Moran is the first arrest in the case, detectives have not finished their criminal investigation of how about 20 youths got the booze for the Oct. 17 party in the woods near the abandoned Norfolk Airport, Carroll said. Police arrested Moran Oct. 23 at his 3 Creek Drive home and charged him with being a minor in possession of alcohol and misleading a police officer furthering a criminal investigation. Meyer, a 17-year-old King Philip Regional High School senior, died after leaving the drinking party, which followed King Philip's homecoming football game. The body of the Plainville teen was found Oct. 20 following an extensive two-day search in a swampy area near the woods, where authorities have said she apparently drowned. Moran was arraigned Oct. 24 in Wrentham District Court. Judge Warren Powers released him on personal recognizance and continued the case until Dec. 19 for a pre-trial hearing, according to the clerk magistrate's office.

Robert Doe - age 16 - son of Mr.and Mrs. John Doe - Main Street - Anytown, Ma. was charged with poss. of alcohol etc. In so doing, the underage juvenile would be identified as well as the parents who need to stop sweeping this problem under the rug. If the parents were id'd along with the juvenile, I believe a lot would take a more active role in the parenting of their children just to avoid the embarassment. "

their daughter died for A REASON. They believe that her death will help these kids see the danger in drinking.
THIS IS FOR ALL YOU KIDS( CUZ YOU STILL ARE KIDS) Are you still drinking?
Did you hear Taylors mom at her funeral? She truly believes there was a reason for such a horrific tragedy. She asked that you learn from this. You are all disrespecting Taylor's Mom if you are continuing to drink.. She lost her only daughter, can you live with the fact that she died for NO reason... or can you learn from it?
Her parents NEED answers... fess up!! "

KPHS has had a huge drug problem along with the out of control drinking for quite a long time.
Kids snorting cocaine, selling painkillers all during school. I tried to alert the faculty at the high school and never heard anything come of it. I also asked that the DARE program be expanded for the grades 7-12 and was laughed at.
Some kids have turned to heroin, at least one has died from an overdosed and some kids have entered rehab.
This is the dark secret of the towns that make up KPHS. Parents need to wake up!
Have heard that the hard drugs are coming in from Franklin. "

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNDERAGE DRINKING , LETS FACE IT PARENTS WE ALL KNEW KIDS THAT WERE WHEN WE WERE IN HIGH SCHOOOL , HECK WHEN I WAS IN KP I STUMBLED INTO THE GIRLS ROOM ONE DAY ONLY TO SEE KIDS DOING LINES,SO I THINK WE NEED TO BE REALISTIC ABOUT THE WHOLE THING AND OPEN WITH OUR KIDS "

Any pictures you "think" you saw of me must be figments of your imagination because I never drank nor went to parties while in high school. If you are implying that you have seen pictures of me since graduating from KP then you would probably be right, without the exaggeration. But I am not the topic of discussion here, nor are my morals on trial. I was simply stating a previous case that happened at KP and the lack of fundamental involvement from players, parents and administrators.
Also if you have access to my facebook then you are my "friend" and I highly doubt this is true. If you'd like to message me then I would gladly remove you from my friends list. "

I was proud of Chad Kelly, the Athletic Director at the time, for taking the appropriate action against my teammates. Not only did they break a school rule but also a MIAA rule and most importantly a team rule.
However, I was saddened when parents of my teammates instructed their daughters to lie to school administrators in order to receive no punishment. Many parents came to the playoff game with their suspended daughters in tow and harassed not only the coaching staff but the rest of the team. I was disgusted that these parents allowed their daughters to speak rudely about the punishment they not only received but deserved.
The captains elected for the following season had served suspensions the previous year! There is something wrong with this picture. Taylor and the other class of 2009 softball girls were shown that what happens one season is erased the next. Keep on drinking KP athletes; you can still be captains and leaders. "

I would suggest that the school policy include alcohol counseling for any student caught drinking, with the parents included as well - for one year.
Placing blame at the feet of those adults and students who saw Taylor at the football game who may have suspected that she had been drinking is one way of deflecting responsibility to those who were drinking with her later in the evening
Taylor did not wander off at the football game her friends allowed her to leave a dark, wooded area ALONE. "

bonfire and its attendees are just the scapegoat for the cops, KP officials and other the parents who that saw her there that night. And to answer your question about their guilt - YES i do think they all feel guilty, I don't believe any of those kids meant for this to happen..so don't speak for them and imply that they don't feel guilty!

involved at the bon fire that night, bless your lucky stars that your child was not there - and "never" say "never"
From my understanding many of the students who are making comments to the ones who were there, it was just sheer luck that many of them were not there that night because you all know it has been a regular place for many of you & its been around for years and years.
I would also like you to know why are the parents, teachers & faculty members who were at the game & saw Taylor very intoxicated walking around with only a t-shirt on on a very cold night! Why are they not being questioned? They should feel just as guilty as the kids are being questioned to as why they let her
leave the fire to go meet her cousin for a ride...
As far as sports goes, do you think any of these kids really care about playing a sport now? I'm sure the guilt they feel now will last a lifetime. I' surely think that they would give up playing all sports to have this night turn out differently. THERE IS PLENTY OF BLAME TO GO AROUND and it should NOT be only towards the kids at the party!! BTW - there is a party being planned in the NA woods tonight. "

The play on the Bill Clinton excuses were right on the money. Remember the North Attleborough football players and cheerleaders caught drinking a couple of years back. Their parents were right there running with Clinton excuses. They were also saying that the punishment, which the students knew in advance, was too harsh.
It may be an instinct to protect one's children, but that goes for putting up a safety gate when they learn to crawl or keeping them away from a snarling dog. Covering for them when a school mate dies, regardless of their involvement speaks volumes. "

I know, there will be the helicopter parents with the excuses of: My son wasn't there, okay he was there but didn't drink (or inhale), okay he tried it out of curiosity but just had one sip (puff). That tells a lot about the character of the parents and what kind of character kids will develop. "

There were many kids that were probably too drunk to make a judgement call because although most of the reports have indicated that the party was in celebration of KP's homecoming victory, I know for a fact that this party started well before the game even started possibly soon after school ended that day for some of them. I also know for a fact that several of the girls there are cheerleaders who were at the game and couldn't have gotten out to the party site until after 10:00 and I know they weren't drinking while cheering at the game. They say that Taylor left the area at around 10:30 so there were some kid that should have been able to use good judgement. Either that or they just weren't paying attention. I don't know but it's just so sad. "

He should be punished but I find it hard to believe there were only 12 beers involved. Which rich kids will avoid punishment because mummmy and daddy have already had their kid lawyered up and have the quack psychologist in the wings to justify the action as a right of passage that unfortunately had unfortunate consequences.
