What the hell is UP with some parents?

Dd got an invitation to a Birthday party. FOR STARTERS...written on the invitation was the following:

Gift idea! $$ for Florida trip.

Okay, tacky, I thought. But forgivable.

Then, she goes to the party. This party is for 20 or so 10/11 year olds. Hmm, okay. Let's talk about what went on. Truth or Dare involving blow jobs, humping, and hand jobs. Blindfolding a kid and having him walk around with an axe. The little girl who asked for money slammed ALL the presents down, and took away only the money. Having skits where they pretended to be "high". Holliann (my dd) and her friend had enough after an hour and called her friends mom to come get them early.

She tells me about all this tonight, and how disgusted she was. How she had a horrible time. Of course, my question was: "WHERE were the parents?" Her answer? They came down to watch them open presents, that was it. Apparantly the adults had there own get-together upstairs.

Call me dense, but is there something WRONG with this picture? No, you don't have to hang onto their every moment, but don't you think with THAT many kids a little supervision is warranted? Maybe I'm a prude, but at my parties, the first kid to mention "blow job" would be out the door so fast, he wouldn't know WHAT hit him/her.
