The parents of Corey Delaney, the Australian teenager made famous for his house party that drew 500 people and caused thousands of dollars in damage, are sticking up for their son, saying he just made a mistake like any other teenager with limited supervision. Well, we appreciate the unconditional love and all, but face it — your kid is a royal screw up.

In an open letter to the media, she and her husband, Steve, said the image of a teenage party animal was wide of the mark: “The Corey we know is a loving, kind and fun boy who plays computer games with his eight-year-old sister, takes her to the park and always has time for his family. We certainly don’t excuse Corey’s behaviour … But how many parents have been let down by their teenager when they have been given a bit of extra trust?”

Delaney has become an internet hit both for his party and for the brazen way he explained himself in the media. At one point, when a reporter challenged him to take a long hard look at himself, he said: “I have. Everyone has. They love it.”

“He’s come a big gutser [failed], he’s a bit sore and sorry for himself,” said his stepfather, his wife adding that if her son was unable to find a suitable full-time job he would be returning to school at the end of the month.

No matter what our teens do, just remember that it can be much, much worse. A 16-year-old from Melbourne, Australia made headlines this past weekend when he hosted a house party that wound up being attended by over 500 people which spun so far out of control that a police helicopter, 30 police officers and even the dog squad had to be called in. The total clean up and damage bill looks like it will top $20,000. But that’s not the worse of the teen’s troubles:

“Detectives have interviewed two 16-year-old youths over incidents on the weekend. One male has been charged with producing child pornography and creating a public nuisance,” a police statement, released tonight, read.

The first boy had been bailed to appear at a children’s court on February 22, while a brief was being prepared in relation to the other boy, the statement added.

Today’s arrests capped a mad four days with the law finally catching up with one of the youths, who has become a media celebrity.
