What do y'all think of letting 18 year olds go 'clubbing'? Keep in mind that the girls I am thinking of all have special needs (most are mild to moderate mentally impared, one has Aspergers) and none drive.

If they do go, what are some of the dangers they need to be aware of?

Drugs. They are everywhere.

Personally, if my child were less mature or less capable of making good decisions than the people she'd be clubbing with, I wouldn't let her go.

Namaste!

I guess I would first ask the girls some questions as individuals and as a group:

1) What would you do if someone asked you to leave the club and go to a party?

2) ...if someone offers you drugs?

3) if someone offers to buy you an alcoholic drink?

4)What if someone gets seperated from the group?

5) What if someone at the club makes you feel uncomfortable or is mean to you?

If you get good answers to the questions and you think the girls would act accordingly even in a stressful situation then that's a start. Is there someone a little older who the girls like who could go along on the first trip, just to be there for support and trouble shooting?
