YOUNGSTOWN, N.Y.-A mother from Ontario faces charges in New York state after her 14-year-old son’s body was found in Lake Ontario
Police found Alexander Montgomery’s body in the lake on Sunday.
He was a member of a group from Orillia, Ont., who were camping at Old Fort Niagara.
They were participating in a War of 1812 encampment, which includes a re-enactment of the capture of Fort Niagara.
His mother, Paula Montgomery, 48, and a family friend, Peter Cooper, 50, are charged with providing the youth alcohol before his death.

feeling like shit I bet but on the other hand, she's probably aghast about being charged.

When I was a kid my dad would let me have a beer once in a blue moon but ONLY one and ONLY when I was there in his presence. Never enough to get me drunk (lol I did that on my own hahaha).

Trying to find a link on how many beers she allowed him to have. This article is longer but no cigar yet.

What a stupid woman... I get a a few sips when a kid is 14. A beer at home or a glass of wine with dinner when they are 16. 14 the kid isn't even in high school.

I morn for the loss of the child.............I realize his time had come but to die this way is such a waste.

This is not good news. The worst part is that she has to live with the pain for the rest of her life.

One more reason retarded people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.....If the adults provided enough alcohol to the kid to get him shit faced enough that he'd drown, then they only have themselves to blame. Something like this is totally preventable......

First of all she is in another country drinking age 21, also why would she give him beer and let him wonder off. I think she was too busy partying herself. I feel sorry for the child.

I have been in parties/campsites and have seen Mothers worrying more about their boyfriends than their kids.

Shame on them.
