If he's referring to Dewey from an adult's perspective, "you probably shouldn't go" isn't the worst advice.
Yeah, my kid is going to relatively family-oriented Bethany.
They wrote up and emailed a list of rules that all the girls have to sign, copying the parents. They have circulated a contact sheet. A parent is booking a hotel room and there will be check-ins at midnight and 9am.
And I basically took all the "you're going to get arrested" stuff from the cop and fed it back to my daughter and her friends as "what not to do" list. They won't circulate that to the parents, but hopefully they'll keep their shit together.
The scenario the cop painted:
Home owners pretty grudgingly rent out these homes, knowing that high schoolers are the worst. They've got your money and are looking for any kind of excuse to boot these kids to avoid damage to the home. So they camp out while you are moving in, hoping to see some dumb-dumb lugging in cases of beer (or whatever.) They will drive by the house in the evening, hoping to find kids out on the deck drinking beers or hosting a party (pretty easy to spot if you rented to a group of girls and dudes are all over the place. They will look in the windows, looking for stuff, etc.
The bottomline is that you need to be smart about partying. It's' not a free-for-all situation.
