Re: contributing to the delinquency of a minor

Parents do not press charges. Prosecutors press charges. Your action was still a violation of the law if you were "talked into" giving a minor alcohol. The particular penalty you might expect depends on your local judge...contact an attorney in your areas if you have been or are charged in the future.
