  Case: Student - Alcohol - Parents
A sixth grade boy is with his friends on the school bus for an environmental education outing. One boy opens his thermos and drinks the liquid. You notice the smell of wine. You say, "May I see that please?" and take the thermos. After the students leave the bus, you check the other containers. Another thermos holds whiskey. You talk to the boys, verifying possession. Another teacher drives the two boys back to school. The parents are called, and a conference is scheduled for four o'clock that afternoon. What are your thoughts about what you might do in this particular situation?
