New Canaan Police are investigating a youth party at an Oenoke Ridge Road home Saturday night where a male juvenile was hurt, officials said.
The youth in question “suffered a serious injury” and was taken to Norwalk Hospital, according to a press bulletin issued by Police Lt. Jason Ferraro, the department’s public information officer.
“The New Canaan Police are asking for anyone with information regarding this youth party or the cause of the injury to the male juvenile to contact the New Canaan Police Investigative Section at 203-594-3523, or utilize the anonymous tip line at 203-594-3544 or utilize the My PD App to leave any related information,” Ferraro said.
It isn’t clear whether police broke up the party, where it was, whether alcohol or drugs were involved, what was the nature of the young man’s injury, how old he is, whether his injury resulted from an accident or fight or whether residents of the home where the party took place are facing criminal charges.
Police said more information will be provided as it’s gathered by authorities.
UPDATE: The boy who was harmed is in [poor] condition..
This is a case where the PARENTS of the boy who had the party should be criminally charged. My daughter knows this boy and he has been having parties for his entire NCHS years – where no parents were present and a lot of drinking – and probably drugs- were present.
New Canaan changed the laws so that parents are responsible- regardless of whether they are home- when there is underage drinking. Apparently the boy was found unconscious and later determined he had a fractured skull likely from being hit/beaten.
What the heck happened? The person/s responsible as well as parents whose home was used for the party need to be held responsible for this horrible incident.
I’m going to ask that people who lack firsthand knowledge (and who also decline to supply their full and verifiable name) refrain from posting comments that describe the health status of the young man injured here. Because police are withholding this person’s name, I cannot verify his condition with the hospital. Also, if you have information about what happened, please use the contact tools supplied by NCPD and reach out to police directly. The developments in this matter that we report here will come from official sources and not from the wider community or readers, thanks.
To the person who is submitting comments under the username ‘EB’: I emailed you in September and again last month to verify your identity. Please respond to my emails. I will not approve any comments you submit until you please do that. Thanks in advance.
