Ain’t No Party Like a MySpace Party

BBC News - 12/04/2007

About 200 youngsters caused damage put at £20,000 to a family home after a party organised on a website.

Police said a teenage girl used the social networking site MySpace to advertise the party while her parents were away from home on Easter Monday.

The 17-year-old’s mother has described the party as “house rape” and called the revellers “worse than animals”.

Guests urinated on a wedding dress and stole jewellery from the house in Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham.

Some party-goers also swung from ceiling light fittings, stubbed out cigarettes on the carpet, vomited in buckets throughout the house and barricaded the back door to prevent neighbours from intervening.

She said her daughter, who has denied creating the message on the website, was now staying with friends for a “cooling off” period.
