Asking parents to take these measures before the night of May 1 – NRK Buskerud – Local news, TV and radio

– For many, this is the night they drink alcohol for the first time, says lswear in preventive unit in the Drammen police, Geir Oustorp.

On several occasions, they have stepped forward to help heavily intoxicated young people, who cannot take htond about himself.

– If you don’t get in touch with the children, or if they don’t come home, then you get anxious. Calling the police may then be a last resort, he says.

The night requires additional resources

The police prepares with extra resources for the party night, and it tends to be en busy night. Oustorp advises parents themselves to take some measures before the party starts.

– It might be wise to have an honest and open discussion at home. Because if the child is unable to take care of himself, it’s good to know that mum and dad will come and pick him up.

Talk to other parents

It is good to know who the children will be with and where they are going. To follow the children on snapmap could be a possible solution, he says.

– It is also good to have allied with other parents. Know who the children are with, so it is possible to cooperate instead of calling the police straight away, says Oustorp.

– If there are any young people planning to go out tonight, what should they keep in mind before they go out?

– At least you should dress well, because it’s still not summer. It is still cold at night. Also remember to tell mum and dad where you’re going, so you don’t go completely under the radar.
