Our kids are dying.
What can we do?
Mighty quest
For two years I’ve been campaigning nationally for legislative change in relation to teen parties.
As the recent spate of party-related damage, injury and death clearly shows, we need solutions more than ever.
Litany of loss
On Wednesday, a young man home alone decided to throw this highly destructive party.
On Thursday, a teen was burnt to death after hosting a party at his parents’ home while they were away.
On Friday, kids somehow managed to host an unruly party in a derelict house. It took 70 police to shut down this event. Our taxes at work.
On Saturday, a teen and his mate confronted thugs after a party in WA. The result? A brutal and fatal attack on an innocent young man.
Earlier this year, a male partygoer was killed by an armed gatecrasher waiting for him at the front of the venue.
Solutions
I believe changing the law is the best long-term way to keep our kids safe at celebrations.
Meanwhile, I’m happy to report that we’re very close to a short-term solution: the release of our Party Survival App.
This app is an easy, step-by-step process to ensure your party runs smoothly.
Safe events involve far more than just assigning security, as this recent piece explains.
