It might be some kind of gang initiation rite or something. There are gangs around here where people claim that a person has to murder someone to be initiated into the gang. The secrecy, threat of being revealed and the trust involved strengthens the bond of the gang.

That's very possible Marilyn. What ever it is, it's really sick. They pick college athletes who are some of the best students and somehow lure them away from their friends just long enough to get by with it. It's happened so much that I've asked my son and his male friends not to go party in the college towns near us. They're all the "right age" and I don't want them to be mistaken for college students and end up in the river.

That is shocking! As a mom who will be sending her son off to college in a year...

My own son is turning 22 this month... and most of his friends are in their early 20's... so yes, it does worry me!

Oh that is scary, tink. Do you think he will listen to you and take it seriously or is he still in the "It won't happen to me" stage?

Thank God Joel's not much of a drinker. When he does drink he usually does it at home and invites his friends over and collects their keys as they pour their first one.
He had a DUI just over 3 yrs ago and luckily he learned his lesson.

He actually called me from the county jail about an hr away at 3 am and said "Mom, I'm in jail for a DUI.... don't suppose you'd want to come bail me out?" I said "You supposed right."
So he sat in jail till his hearing at 8 am and was led by 4 armed guards from his cell to the courtroom in shackles, an orange jumpsuit and flip flops 3 sizes too big. He said he was mortified. LOL Was the best thing that they could have done to him. To my knowledge he hasn't done it since.
He lost his license for a yr, and paid $2,700 worth of fines and court costs. I don't know which hurt more.
Some of his friends haven't learned that lesson yet though, so I do worry.

There was a story in my cosmo not long ago about this. About how this one college town had a ton of accidental drunken drownings & what to do to prevent them. I found it really strange myself while reading the article. I went to purdue & a lot of the bars are right on the wabash & i never heard of even one accidental drowning. I can't believe they didn't start looking into this sooner.
