"stole my liquor and went roaming" That would imply that the nephew and fellow hoodlums went walking around the neighborhood, probably taking swigs from bottles of Jack and Jager until they saw a cop driving around, then they decided to tell the cop OP let them drink. They're probably still gonna get grounded (or worse) anyways... I mean, getting caught stealing liquor is one thing, but getting caught stealing someone's liquor and then blaming the cops on them letting you take it incurs another level of wrath.

my mistake :) i think i rushed through the post to try and be first, which i achieved so im not too ashamed ahah

Yeah, seriously, I fail to see how these kids thought that getting the OP into more trouble with the police would help them AVOID getting grounded. Unless they wanted to skip groundation and just go to extreme ass-whooping.

yah that true my dad was a cop and when CPS tried to take me he got out his law book and told them to get out of his house and off his property and told the CPS guy to **** off.

Why was CPS trying to take you O.o

I think my mom was fully capable of grounding me until I turned 18 and moved out. There's a lot of teenage years there where kids can steal or otherwise obtain alcohol and drink illegally.

What's Ohio like, you ask? It's a pisspot of overly strict parents who ground their children until age 18 and think saying "go to your room" will do any good, for starters. I actually ENJOYED being banished to my room, because that's where all the video games and books were. It's also a haven for hookers, high school potheads, and street thugs. Especially Cleveland. That's pretty much why I left. -___________- Ahhh, Ohio. The wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Yep, good description. Too I'm 15 and can't leave yet

i wish i could be as socially awesome and ninja-like as you. "shawty got class, oh behave"

If they're old enough to be interested in drinking they're probably at least 13 and going to stay awake until at least midnight, probably later. OP is hardly going to stay up all night "babysitting" teenagers.

I don't think the OP said that the cops believed them. Regardless, it doesn't look good to have the cops show up with your drunk nephew and friend in tow and the cop probably told the OP that the kids said that, whether he believed it or not. The neighbors probably saw the cop car in the driveway and/or the drunk kids. Either way pretty embarrassing!

I call BS on you having a brain. Drunk kids = not thinking straight? And I don't get your reasoning for it being bs, you can call any fml bs that way.
