What would you do if the cops showed up at your house at 10am asking for your 20 year old daughter and inquiring about a firework prank the night before?
Turns out some of your sons friends went with your daughter and her friend to set off a firework in front of some guys house they knew and hated and the firework left damage on their front door?
Say she lied to the cop and avoided getting out of trouble and got away with it.
Would there be any punishment at home from you(the parent)?
And what would you do? Say you paid for most her stuff...would you do something like take her cell phone away?
Well since there was damage she could get arrested.
She was NOT the one to light the firework though.
Her brothers friend ran over and dropped the firework, lit it and ran.
She was just in the car.
If anyone should be paying for anything it should be the guy who lit the firework.
Well since there was damage she could get arrested.
She can drop off money annonymously.

That's irrelevant. She was in the get-away car. A get-away-driver of a bank robbery is equally guilty as the bank robber holding the gun. Anyone in the car is an accomplice. She's just as guilty as the rest of them. She could have talked them out of it. She could have left and walked home. But instead, she acted like a child and should be held responsible for what she did. She DARN WELL could have been to be arrested if the police had not been fooled. IMO paying for the damage is getting off easy. She's an adult and she could have had a criminal record for doing a prank that young children get a slap on the wrist for doing. Quit protecting your daughter. She's 20 years old and still doing immature stuff for a reason.
There would definitley be punishment. First there would be a long lecture on why what she did was wrong. I would punish her by taking away the item that she loves the most for one month. She would be grounded for a week and her curfew would be moved back one hour.
Yep I think that her mode of transportation be taken away first and then if she complains or cry and whines about it tell her if she dont like it move out . Then the other thing would be she would pay part for the damages and then I would find out who the other parties involved were and speak with their parents . you know some states have the legal age set at 21 .
Grounded? Punishment by mommy? Taking away items for a month? Are you kidding? This is a 20-year-old woman. She's an adult, legally responsible for her own rights and responsibilities. If she was a 14-year-old who needed to learn a lesson she hadn't been living long enough to learn yet, then sure, punishments, revoked privileges, lectures, and grounding. An adult though? I wouldn't cover for her. If the cops asked where she was, and I knew where she was, I'd tell them. I would -not-, however, divulge any information about the alleged crime, without the advise of a lawyer because doing so could involve me in the criminal case.

She does not have her own car.
Her friend was driving who is 19 and does not live at home.
