Parent's Can't Be Their Children's Pal

From KDKA, Pittsburgh:

Police say a local mother contributed to a crash that killed three teenagers.

Susan Sanders-Watt, 59, is charged with 16 counts of furnishing alcohol to minors in addition to four counts each of corruption of a minor and endangering the welfare of a child.
She allegedly purchased a half keg of beer last June so her son could have a graduation party for his friends, but three of those friends were killed in a crash on the way home from the party.
A fourth was seriously injured.
Michael Simpson, Jordan Cobb, both 19, and 18-year-old Carly Kudray, were all graduates of Greensburg-Salem High School.
They were driving on Church Street in Salem Township at the time of the crash.

Simpson, who was driving, had a blood alcohol level of .147 – more than seven times the legal limit for someone his age.
Police also believe the teens had been drinking at Kudray’s father’s home earlier in the evening.
