Democrat and Chronicle staff writer Ernst Lamothe Jr. reported on the teen's efforts in a March 30 article on www.rocnow.com:
"Parents shouldn't be hands-off because they have to know what their kids are doing," said Mia [Daniels], 16, a junior at Pittsford Sutherland High School. "I just want to help create community awareness about the issue and support any student who feels pressure themselves."
As a member of the Pittsford Alliance for Substance-Free Youth, she helped figure out strategies parents could use to prevent risky behavior by middle and high school students. ...
Mia has some advice for parents, especially those who plan to host house parties where teens can drink.
"One of the most important things is reminding parents that underage drinking is illegal, plain and simple," she said.
