Good grief. One hopes the authorities catch every last one of the culprits and that they are severely punished (that is, jailed) for stupid destruction like this.

The parents will never come down on the kids as they are too busy being the kids best friend and best friends don''t turn on each other. Parents, wake up, do your job as a parent not as a friend. After raising 2 kids, I was the parent, not a friend. I taught me kids about responsibility and consequences and if they did something wrong, to accept the consequences. If my kid got mad because another adult yelled at them, I didn''t have much sympathy because something was happening. They also got into trouble by me. Thanks to my neighbors and all of us working together, we managed to raise a neighborhood of kids who turned out really good. I''m proud of them. We didn''t give the kids a chance to get into trouble and we know where they were until they moved out or went to college.

You mean with all the debree that these scoundrels left befinf they couldn''t get a few prints. I''m from Me. there are many summer homes and camps there the vast majority of folks don''t care if you break in as long as you don''t destoy anything went on some camp raids myself don''t worry it was 30 years we destryed nothing got a fire going had an OK time and cleaned our mess up mostly, These folks live in these house maybe a month or 2 a year. Did know one fellow that used to leave behind a fifth of Jack Dainles with poisen in it out in public view never liked that man after that seeking shelter from the cold is one thing but destoying property is anothe plus with snowmobiles up north it''s just to easy.

one sad part of this is the perps that did this may well grow out of the stupidity of destruction for fun and at some point later in life, hate that they did this terrible thing, but it will be too late then.

They were "just stumbling through the woods on a binge drinking evening." Who said all the rednecks were in the south?

O.K., they destroyed property, underage drinking, and probably a host of other illegal things. Where are their parents? I hope they are reading this, I think maybe the parents should be punished in some way. Not necessarily taken away from "raising" their children, but some sort of punishment so that they don''t let their kids act like retards. Parents will be harder on their kids if they are pushed and they have to do something they don''t want to do. I remember when I was in school, we had early morning d-hall and I think my mom suffered more than my brother did for that punishment. My mom sure was harder on him after that, and guess what? he became a better kid cause mom didn''t let him goof off anymore.

"Having 50 new young people become experts on his poetry should provide a pool of 21st-century Frost scholars "

They are too busy getting high and drunk, like most kids today- worthless and useless, sickening what they did to this historic house.
A good punishment would be a court ordered destruction of their own bedrooms and personal property- they come home from school to find their bedroom and everything they owned- computer, video games, bong, clothes all SHREADED and heaped into a pile in the middle of the room, with liberal quantities of fresh dog chit and raw sewage sprinkled about the room.

See how they feel then :)

A few years ago a new home was being built in our city by a couple from another state. It was in an upscale neighborhood and was near completion. Teenagers had a drunken good ole time in the house one night and ended up burning the house down. Their parents are wealthy and a couple are high-powered lawyers. The kids were never held accountable and it was hushed up almost immediately. Don''t be surprised if this is shoved under the rug as well.

Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village, though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To write my name in yellow snow.
