Alleged Instant Message Offered Liquor to Minors

“Police found another away message on Lucien’s account on March 20 that also said he could provide alcohol. Part of the text of the message read: ‘U wanna drink?… U tell me what u want, gimme the cash, and I’ll get you the bottles like lickety split, yo.’ The message included his room number, police reports show.” —Alleged Instant Message Offered Liquor to Minors (Centre Daily Times)

Who would have imagined that some totally uncool adult would know how to follow up on an IM away message? Some young people are stunned and amazed when authority figures intrude upon “their” electronic space.
