When teenage partygoers go bad
The danger of MySpace turning teenage parties into apocalyptic gatecrasher magnets has had parents scratching their heads. But even with security guards, wristbands, and a strict guest-list a party can still end in carnage, writes Monica Fuller in our reader's column.

LOL, finally a use for myspace, to mess with some kids party. Want 300 people to show up at your neighbors house? Advertise on MySpace and maybe Craigslist too :)At 7.30pm, they began to arrive, at 9pm I felt my first wave of nausea as about 50 youths rolled through the gate in puffer jackets and attitude. These boys were known as being gang members and they looked it.
My first reaction was to call the police. Whilst waiting for the police to arrive I had a word with a couple of these boys explaining that they didn't look as though they needed any more trouble in their life, especially over a 15-year-old's party.
Fences scaled
After a bit of negotiating they saw sense and left. On their way down the road they beat up a young lad coming to the party and broke his nose and split his cheek.
While I had agreed a hundred could come, there were about 150 inside the house and out in the back yard with another 100-120 in the front yard trying to get in - with any lie, or trick they could think of. Many scaled fences but were found by security.
One neighbour will not talk to me since the party. The fact is that what happened outside the party was not in our control. MSN and Myspace sends out messages at the speed of light about where a 'good' party is being held and so they storm the gates.
Human faeces had been smeared on our bathroom walls, two toilet seats broken, holes on the wall made by stilettos, wall tiles broken and the floors defied description
