What is the name of your state? FL

Hey everyone,

I have a quick question, If an underage person(20 yrs) purchases alcohol for another minor(17yrs old) can the buyer be held responsible if they do something illegal. Like, whats the most that can happen to them, its not like minors killed anyone or stole anything.

Buying the minor alcohol is aiding and abetting the minor with possession of the alcohol. Buying alcohol for a minor is also a crime in itself. Contributing to the deliquincy of a minor is another charge.

:cool: Please do tell how contributing to the deliquincy of a minor by purchasing alcohol for the minor is related to aiding & abetting said minor in a seperate criminal action. Based on the facts presented thus far! :cool:

it isnt. purchasing the alcohol and giving it to the minor is contributing to the delinquincy of a minor, a separate charge on its own.

There is a crime with consumption of alcohol. Without the 20 year old aiding the 17 year old in getting alcohol, the 17 year old could not have consumed it. Hence aiding and abetting.

No, I meant can the buyer be responsible for a crime that the 17 year old commited?

Interesting, using Trucker in name.

In most states, an alcohol offense (furnishing or poss'n) by a minor, suspends the driving license for one year.

Yippee ...this snarky guy will be walking a lot.
