Teen
punished for
helping
drunk friend
Two weeks ago, Erin Cox, an honors high school
student who lives near Boston, got a call from a
friend at a party who was too drunk to drive. Cox
went to the party to get her friend, and shortly
after she got there, police arrived and arrested a
dozen kids for underage drinking, warning 15
others, including Cox, they would get a summons
for drinking, according to the Boston Herald.
Even though Cox wasn't drinking and a police
officer vouched for her sobriety in a written
statement, according to the Herald, her school,
North Andover High, charged that she violated its
zero-tolerance policy when it comes to alcohol and
drug use. She was demoted from her position as
captain of her volleyball team and told she would
be suspended for five games
