On Saturday, March 13, 2010, 17-year old Conor Reynolds died at Baystate Medical Center. He, a Cathedral High School Student, died after being stabbed in the neck while attending a party at Blue Fusion Bar and Grill. The Restaurant & Lounge was rented out for a Cathedral High School Student. There were more than 250 attendants and although no alcohol was permitted to be served, many of the students were drinking before their admission in the facility. Surprisingly there was no security or police attendees, in which could have prevented such senseless crime. The act was seen to be "another senseless act of violence on another Springfield youth, committed by a coward who stabbed an unarmed victim with little to no provocation." Another unidentified Cathedral student was stabbed in the forearm, but survived with non-life threatening injuries.
The importance of this article is to show how underage drinking can lead to serious negative outcomes. Parents need to teach their children the cons about drinking and it way of making children do things they are not aware of doing. There needs to be more regulations put in society that can create a decrease in assaults and death that surrounds this issue of overage drinking. There should also be some sort of law in place that makes it mandatory for some sort of safety patrol to be on site at facilities where underage parties are being held; this could have prevented the stabbings and deaths of the lives of many. The question is how many deaths or assaults are going to happen before a change takes place.
