Regulación sobre el consumo de alcohol y sustancias en propiedades

Explicación Simple

Si tienes una casa y sabes que hay menores bebiendo alcohol o usando drogas, y no haces nada al respecto, puedes tener problemas. La ley dice que debes cuidar que eso no pase en tu propiedad.

Es como ser el dueño de una piscina. Si dejas que los niños jueguen sin supervisión y se lastiman, puedes ser responsable porque no los cuidaste.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Laura organiza una fiesta en su casa. Si ve que sus amigos menores de edad están bebiendo cerveza y no hace nada para detenerlo, podría enfrentarse a problemas legales por permitirlo en su hogar.

Penalidades

Puede haber cargos criminales y sanciones adicionales por permitir el consumo de alcohol o drogas en tu propiedad.
