I am one of those parents who has accepted the reality of college (and high school) drinking and fake IDs. I have posted previously that every single student- male and female- on my son’s freshman dorm floor at Penn arrived with a fake ID. We witnessed them all comparing them. My son got caught at one point at the Jersey shore (he was 20 by then) and had some monetary consequences and legal proceedings. Busting the kids is a money maker in NJ.
I don’t like it, but, yes, I also had a fake ID in college. I want my kids (and all kids) to be safe. Unfortunately, it’s a crapshoot.
