If we had one adult parent in each room, I think the problem will significantly decrease.

Well, if it's a USASF sponsored event, I'm not sure the coaches should have to supervise. You could argue (I'm not by the way) that technically the season is over, so the coaches may not be responsible for them. In situations like this, everyone is at fault. The kids are representing their gyms, the gym is at fault. The kids are at a USASF sponsored event, USASF is at fault. They are on Disney property, Disney is at fault. The kids are acting in a moronic fashion, the kids are at fault. The parents are either unaware or not interested, the parents are at fault. The only way I can see things changing is if the punishment is severe enough to cause the kids to not want to behave that way.

No thank you! lol. The only issue I see with the social host laws is the USASF did not provide the alcohol. The athletes (in most cases I'm sure) got it themselves. My guess is they brought it from home. Not sure what impact that has. Regardless, if something happened to anyone because of the actions of an intoxicated kid, you better believe that all 3 entities would be held responsible. Civil suits can do just as much damage (if not more) than a criminal one.

If the parents are to be held responsible, they need to eliminate the forced arrangement of the cheerleaders rooming together in a hotel that the parents are not necessarily staying at - and even if they were the team is together for events the parents are not welcome to attend - so we can not be supervising them effectively. Instead - for paid bids, give the cheerleaders money towards travel and have them stay with their parents - then you can hold the parents accountable if this is the goal. I had no way to supervise - or even know- where my child was the entire weekend unless she called to tell me where she was. There was a parent in every room - but the actual parents of the children have NO MEANS to supervise thier children so this is unfair to say the parents are responsible.
