"I saw some kids lying on my floor, and I was like, 'Listen, are those kids okay? Is that fentanyl?' And [his daughters] were like, 'No. They just take edibles.' And I was like, 'Okay. I don't wanna see it. I don't wanna know about it' because I am not one of those parents," he shared. "There are parents in my neighborhood who supply these kids with booze, and I am not that parent, and I don't adhere to that," O'Connell continued, suggesting that some parents do it because they want to party with their kids. "Their thing is like, 'Well, they're gonna get the booze elsewhere, better that they get it here.' But, I gotta tell you, I think these drunk parents just wanna party with these kids and that's another level of sick." O'Connell shares his 16-year-old twin daughters with wife Rebecca Romijn. And, while it sounds like he definitely takes a hard line when it comes to partying, we can't say we disagree with him. Fortunately, it sounds like the whole family is on the same page, and everyone can understand why dad doesn't teens putting themselves into dangerous situations, either at his house or elsewhere.

Wild LA party devolves into chaos with vandalism, fire breathing man, and injured cops
A wild Los Angeles crowd featuring a fire-breathing man caused havoc on Sunday night, vandalizing train cars, businesses and a police cruiser, injuring four police officers. Hundreds of individuals, some dressed in party gear, gathered around midnight Sunday in downtown LA and rapidly devolved into vandalism and property destruction, The LA Times reported. The mob originated as an unsanctioned music event at a rooftop party spanning two parking lots, the LAPD said in a statement. The parties were promoted on social media without the property owner's knowledge, per the LAPD. Some 700 people attended the party and when police were called to break it up, some 100 revelers broke off and embarked on a destructive vandalism spree. The scene was chaotic, a torch-wielding man blew flammable liquid into the flames and shot fire into the air, another man ascended a light pole and rested his feet on a street sign as he filmed himself with his cell phone as a helicopter hovered overhead. When the LA metro's A Line train stopped on Washington Avenue, troublemakers began spray-painting the train's exterior and hammering on the windows. Police received two calls of disturbances on trains, but no arrests were made in response to either of them, an LAPD spokesperson told the LA Times. "Around midnight, approximately 50 trespassers blocked two A Line trains traveling northbound and southbound at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Maple Street, south of downtown Los Angeles. The trespassers began to spray paint on both trains and gained entry into the southbound train and sprayed paint on the interior of the train. During the incident, no operators or passengers were harmed and service was delayed around 20 minutes," the LA Metro said in a statement. LAPD officers decked in riot gear stood in a long line across the street from the unruly mob. Some individuals were so brazen that they posed for selfies in front of a defaced LAPD squad car, and shot fireworks and kicked the police vehicle as officers attempted to drive away from the scene. Police declared an unlawful assembly and fired non-lethal bullets into the crowd in order to clear the scene, police said. A fire was reported on one of the rooftops, police said. Four officers were injured in the fracas, according to a police statement. "We were on top of a parking lot. So what ended up happening is that it got too crazy, it got too crowded," a witness told KCAL. He said attendees were using lighters and hairspray as makeshift flamethrowers. The witness said that the mob were pelting police with beer cans and water bottles and shooting fireworks in their direction. "That's kind of like the energy of those type of shows, people are just going to go there to let out all the frustration and anger that they have built from life, family, society," the witness told KCAL. No arrests were made in response to the incident, but the LAPD vowed to find those responsible. "Our officers were heavily outnumbered and so the decision was, clear the area rather than make arrests. But I can assure you we will find those responsible," Los Angeles Police Department Cmdr. Lillian Carranza told the LA Times. Nearly every business near the scene had been covered with graffiti, including a Panda Express and dialysis center. One business suffered broken windows. "This type of vandalism happens every day but never to this extent, we really need to teach the future generations how to care for one another. How would you like it if this happened to your home?" Dr. Afshin Akhavan, who runs the House of Health clinic on Washington Boulevard, told the LA Times. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the incident "unacceptable" and pledged to get to the bottom of it at a Memorial Day event. "It is unacceptable under any and all circumstances, and those people who perpetrated this have to be held accountable to the full extent of the law," Bass said.

‘It was planned': Hens party guests walk out after bride's ‘cruel' act
When a woman was invited to her colleague's hen do after knowing her for just three months, she keenly went along despite knowing none of the other guests. However, upon arriving at the restaurant, she was shocked to discover that she, along with three other women, had been seated away from the main party and on the other side of the restaurant in the corner. After the drama was captured in a six-second video and posted to TikTok, it amassed over 2.2 million views. The caption read: 'POV: You get invited to a hen do only to be sat on the other side of the restaurant in the corner'. The reaction was swift, with commenters quick to express their disbelief at the situation. 'No, but this is actually so bad! Why were you invited to be put in a corner?' asked one user. Another remarked: 'The absolute attitude, cockiness and passive aggressiveness from whoever (the bride) is tells me you had a lucky escape leaving! It's giving childish mean girl vibes and was definitely deliberate'. 'I don't understand how people are okay doing this to their guests,' expressed someone else. Others theorised why this might have happened, with some suggesting it was to help with the bill. 'Girl, you were invited to spread the cost. I had this happen to me too,' one person replied, while another agreed: 'Yeah you were invited to bring the cost down …' Others claimed she was probably invited as a 'rent a crowd' and 'a table filler' to make the bride seem more popular. The bride's friends and family apparently defended the seating decision in now-deleted replies, arguing that there wasn't enough space in the restaurant to accommodate all 33 guests at a single table. But that didn't sit well with viewers, who asked them: 'Why book there then?' The original poster also hit back at these excuses, claiming that the event was 'booked weeks in advance' and she saw the seating plan, which was specifically designed to have a smaller group sat in the corner. 'There was definitely space,' she alleged. The invitee also claimed the situation was made worse by the fact that she was sat at a table with three strangers, and the organiser didn't even introduce them to one another. 'It was very awkward from the get-go,' she said in a follow-up story time video. 'We weren't acknowledged at all'. She said she ended up leaving the event early because when the bride finally approached her, it felt 'awkward' and 'uncomfortable'. She also claimed there was an overall lack of warmth from everyone at the event, and one of the bride's friends even rolled her eyes at her when she was being introduced.
