Firstly: As the (annoying) commentry indicates we don't know all the facts here.
Secondly: It's a "zero hedge" article featuring PJW, so will be utter anathema to some people.
Thirdly: It's morbidly interesting, and somewhat thought provoking.

The Empire knows no bounds.
The lack of Parental responsibility allowed the State, rather than the Mum and Dad, to bring up children.
But, the Lord said that this shall happen; before his return.
What does this mean? The mother presumably has parental responsibility, not the State. The kid was not in care.
It is illegal for an adult to buy alcohol for a minor, or for a licensee to sell alcohol to a person under age. If it was a private party, there should have been an adult in charge. That said, it is not uncommon for teenagers to drink alcohol, or even become intoxicated. The police brought a vulnerable young person home, which sounds like an appropriate response. Whether it needed so many officers is open to question.

I recall being 16 - there was a collective drive to find workarounds for all the things that were forbidden to us due to age at that point, especially the gateway drugs like alcohol and cigarettes which made us feel mature and hence more desireable socially.
The lengths we went to in order to get our hands on booze were a source of much social cudos, especially when it was shared with our less capable (or more scared) friends.
It is unlikely to be adults who are to be to blame here - just kids doing what kids do.

This does seem odd I must admit - it started off properly and seem to descend into a complete shotshow very fast.
