I've let my 14 y/o have a glass of wine when out to eat several times.

Perfectly legal. I wonder if this same concept applies to tobacco products? Can a parent go out and supply their minor child with a pack of cigarettes?

You have to be present with your minor when they drink. You can't buy them a case and let them go on their own.

I understand that, what I was wondering if a parent could legally buy their child a tobacco product?

Had TABC today taught by a local TABC agent, learned some cool stuff like...It is perfectly legal for a parent to order drinks for their minor child in a restaurant and let them drink them. As far as TABC goes, parking lot is included in the premises. Funny how terms can differ when referring to different laws like child, premises, ect.

An legal age person can also order for their under age spouse.

... Interesting day, saw a video of a woman beating the poop out of her husband all caught on hidden camera. ...

A policeman once explained to me and some other CHLs that he was much in favor of CHL and in general hoped that if he were in a jam, some citizens would help him out. If I recall his story correctly, he said that when he was a still a pretty new police officer, he was sent on a DV call all by himself, found a little skinny man sitting on the curb in front of a house, I think with some bruises. The officer went to the front door and a HUGE woman opened it, then tried to shut it again. He shoved his nightstick in the door to keep it from closing; she just ripped it out of his hand into the apartment and he didn't see it again until much later. Somehow the door came open again, I forget whether he forced it or she opened it back up, but in any case he ended up in a wrasslin' match with this big fat strong gal who outweighed him...and he was not winning, which he found hard to comprehend at the time. His radio wasn't getting out so he couldn't call for help, and had visions of this not ending well at all. Finally a neighbor or two came over to see what the ruckus was about and he was able to subdue her with their help. He eventually found his nightstick: when she yanked it thru the door, it flew across the room, hit the wall, and fell behind a couch.

He said that really woke him up about reality and was ever after grateful for those citizens' help. Lotsa lessons there.

The Problem with both of the above that I have seen and heard of is that sometimes LEO's and TABC Leo's ignore that the law says it is legal and Prosecutors will charge with child endangerment, providing to a minor and disorderly conduct. I have even seen(heard of in the news) charges of injury to a child and felony convictions for both of the above. of course your mileage may vary.

If you are the type of parent that buys your minor child alcohol and let's him get hammed drunk then I agree you should be charged cause you are a idiot.

Coming from a child abuse background those that put whiskey in their babies bottles tend to get charged. That is different then having a cold one with your 17 year old daughter or son.

Got a huge test Monday to study for. Today during Mental Health Code a girl who is bipolar, OCD, manic depression, along with a few others came by to talk to use about dealing with people with mental illness. All I have to say is, wow. Some of these people I really feel sorry for.

Very interesting approach. I think that it's a very good idea to get the opportunity to communicate with a real person afflicted with those illnesses. Kudos to the academy for including this in the curriculum.

Made a 92 on the family violence/CIT test. It was tough with a few truck questions. Now we can relax a bit and in the next 4 weeks we start getting into the fun stuff. Really only 2 more tough tests till graduation then the TCOLE test. Next week on Wednesday we get sprayed with OC. I'll make sure to get mine on video and upload it for y'all to see.

What were the truck questions? Which type of truck most wife beaters drive? Do they have big tires on them? Do they have 4x4 posts for bumpers?

Seriously, glad you are doing well in the academy. Keep up the good work!!

Here is one question I remember.

If a person has previously been arrested TWICE for family violence what offence do you charge him with?

A. Class A misdemeanor

B. 3rd degree Felony

C. Class B misdemeanor

D. State jail felony.

The correct answer is class A misdemeanor cause you have to be convected 2 or more times before you can be charged with felony 3.

Now that is a "truck" question. Now watch out for the spelling and grammar police.
