Home trashed in MySpace party
From correspondents in London
April 13, 2007 08:53am


200 party-goers descend on village for party
Buckets of vomit, cigarette burns left in home
Police planning to speak to revellers

TWO British parents were left with a £20,000 ($48,000) bill after a party advertised by their teenage daughter on the MySpace social networking site attracted hundreds of revellers who trashed their home.

Despite warnings from her mother not to have "any kids or drink in the house" while her parents went on a caravan holiday, 17-year-old Rachel Bell advertised her "Skins"-themed party, after a British television series about promiscuous, drug-taking teenagers, on MySpace for Easter Monday.

She expected about 30 or 40 people to arrive, but instead more than 200 invaded the house in Woodstone Village, County Durham.

Some carried what neighbours described as "a suitcase full of alcohol", wreaking mayhem in the quiet town.

Rachel's parents, Alan and Elaine, returned home the following day to find plastic buckets filled with vomit, cigarette butts littered throughout the house, and Mrs Bell's wedding dress pulled out from a wardrobe and urinated on.

"It's worse than a burglary, I can't believe it," Mrs Bell said.

"Whoever has come in here are worse than animals, it's like house rape. They've been sick everywhere, urinated and trashed the house. It will take a month for it to be professionally cleaned and we are having to stay in temporary accommodation."

Rachel was staying with a friend today for a "cooling off" period which she agreed to with her mother, while her parents dealt with the devastation in their home.

Her MySpace advertisement for the "Skins" party was subtitled, "Let's trash the average family-sized house disco party," though the teenager denies posting the message.

"They've pulled light fittings from the ceiling and I can't believe someone would come in and do something like this," Mr Bell said.

"There's cigarette burns on furniture and mattresses and it's a wonder they haven't burnt the house down."

Durham police said the incident would be investigated, with a spokesman saying that they planned to "speak in due course to as many of the party-goers as we can."
 
Wow. Wish I was there. :woot:

Then I would conveniently vanish when the police showed up. :up:

Its stuff like this that gives MySpace an undeserved bad name.
 
And my daughter would be paying off the damages in 2030 AD.
 
dam shes in a so much trouble
 
I'm honestly surprised that worked. Next time I throw a party I know where to post.:o
 
Why do they call them Myspace parties? They're just parties. Myspace is just a more efficient means of getting word out.

to vilify it. Adds more scandal.

I'd send her ass to military school.
 
She's not too bright is she? Lets have a party with people we don't know who hang out on myspace... I'd smack her as soon as I heard it... (after showing up and wrecking the place of course :D)
 
I hate how its myspace's fault lol stupid british girls
 
Sad thing is they are going to spend tax payers money on an f***ing police investigation when the idiot kid won't confess to posting it.

Translation: they kicked her out of the house. Serves her right.
 
Police interview web party girl

Alan Bell said he and his wife had been traumatised

Police are to interview a 17-year-old girl whose party guests caused £20,000 of damage to her parents' house.

About 200 youngsters turned up at the £230,000 home in Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, after the bash was advertised on a website.

Rachael Bell denies advertising the event on MySpace while her parents were away on Easter Monday and claims her profile was hacked.

Her father Alan said the house had been "totally trashed".

'House rape'

A spokesman for Durham Police said: "We will be speaking to Rachael in due course about the party and also as many of the guests who were there as possible."

The 17-year-old's mother, Elaine Bell, 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 Chipchase Court.


It's absolutely trashed, and I hope no-one else has to go through what me and my wife have these last few days
Alan Bell

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

Mr and Mrs Bell returned on Tuesday morning to find the trail of destruction.

They have since made a formal complaint of criminal damage to police.

Mrs Bell added: "I told her that I did not want any kids or drink in the house while I was away and I'm furious.

"It's worse than a burglary, I can't believe it.

"Whoever has come in here are worse than animals, it's like house rape."

She said her daughter was now staying with friends for a "cooling off" period.

The youngster had expected 30 or 40 guests but 200 turned up.

Mr Bell added: "It's absolutely trashed, and I hope no-one else has to go through what me and my wife have these last few days."

The Durham Police spokesman said some people travelled hundreds of miles to be at the party.

He said: "There has been a formal complaint from the owners of criminal damage to interior fixtures and fittings.

"Inquiries are under way and we plan to speak in due course to as many of the party-goers as we can."

Yep, Myspace sucks :o
 
I saw this on the news, and thought it was very funny.

What kind of idiot advertises a house party on a public myspace profile?

Though, it could have been alot worse. The girl was on her own, after all.
 
serves the girl right for bein an idiot and advertising a party at her house on the internet.
 
I dont get why half the people would travel a few hundred miles to go to a party they saw advertised on myspace?
 
I never understand why anyone wants to host a "house party" the only way to enjoy one is to have it at someone else's house:o

Also why ppl go to these things hand have to act like scum is beyond me but i guess that's the sad world we live in now.
 
Hopefully the house can recover and rejoin society soon. Nothing worse than post-rape house suicide. :(
 
What an idiot...

This is actually near me...
 
The word Traumatised is getting thrown around a bit to easily these days.:whatever:
