Anita Milici-Matarazzo, who hosted the party, said that most of the kids were staying overnight, and said she invited three friends to chaperone the party.

Francis Matarazzo "said it was under control and it was better for him to host the party rather than have the kids out on their own. He also defended his actions by telling police that they were providing a safe location to have the party because the students were going to drink anyway, so it may as well be supervised," reports the newspaper.
