UNION, Ky. (AP) -- A mother whose 15-year-old daughter died a tragic death after a night of binge drinking in northern Kentucky is turning her personal pain into a lesson for other teens.
Karen Kappelman died in 2010 of hypothermia after sneaking out of her home and drinking with friends. The family had just moved to Boone County from Alabama a few months earlier.
Karen's mother, Danette Kappelman, has since forgiven those involved and now shares her family's personal tragedy to send a message about what can happen when children make bad choices.
The Kentucky Enquirer reports that Kappelman has become one of the region's most fervent educators of parents about the dangers of underage drinking.
The night Karen died, her blood alcohol content was recorded at 0.128, and her body was found outside her home, in the cold.
