« Newport Music Festival director stepping down | Today | Illustration: In federal court, it's the lady with the lamp » May 14, 2008Woman accused of 'social host' violation after fatal crashIn the aftermath of a deadly car accident, a West Warwick woman has been accused of violating the state's "social host" law after the police said she permitted under-age drinking in her home by at least 11 people. Denise Daudelin, 57, of 42 Spencer St. was arrested following an investigation by West Warwick and Warwick police following an accident at Quaker Lane and Ginsu Drive in Warwick that killed a 46-year-old woman, according to a police news release today. The police said the 17-year-old driver of a car involved in the accident and his passenger, 16, had been at a party earlier in the evening at Daudelin's residence. The party allegedly involved “drinking games” and other boisterous activities. Daudelin was at home on the night of the party, the police said. The news release does not elaborate on Daudelin's alleged role in what police say happened at her residence. Daudelin was arraigned today and released on $1,000 personal recognizance. A pre-trial date is set for May 28. Three 16-year-olds and one 17-year-old have been charged with possession of alcohol by a minor. The police also allege that a 17-year-old employee of a local liquor store obtained some of the alcohol for the party. He "secreted a 30-pack of beer in the rear parking lot, which was later recovered by other juveniles and transported to 42 Spencer St.," the police said. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

It's about time we start cracking down on irresponsible parents who allow their kids to have booze parties in the home. Parents have to stop being their kids' buddies and act like responsible parents. Underage drinking is not allowed...not in the home, not in the yard, not in the back seat of the family's SUV! A woman is dead because Ms. Daudelin wanted to be the perfect boozing party host to underage drinking! Was the drunken state of these underage drinkers worth the death of an innocent woman? Too late now for second thoughts.
