My (just) 16 year old daughter has been invited to sing the lead vocals for a band [View all]
I've written about her before. Massively talented. Great voice.
Huge substance abuser. She started sneaking out to underage drinking parties, prostituting herself for drugs, selling drugs at school at 14 years old. She's already been through rehab. Twice.
I've lurked on her Facebook page (sorry DU scolds but this kid has forfeited ANY right to privacy long ago) and these guys are typical punks - heavy drinking and drugs. I've gone to listen to them and they are actually pretty good with a lot of original stuff BUT this kind of environment scares the shit outta me.
She thinks I am being a total bitch even telling her I need to think about her doing this for a few days. Please know she regularly threatens to run away. She's drug tested and so far she's clean. She's no longer allowed to drive my car so my permission is required so she can at least get to practices on a regular basis (I'd drive her).
I have zero experience with the "indie band scene". Advice? Anyone?
