Do red frogs make schoolies too attractive?

Today Natty talked in church about her involvement in the Student Life schoolies project.  It sounded really good.

Reminded me that a week or so ago,  Marcus came home from school and announced that he and some friends wanted to rent an apartment at The Gold Coast.

Turned out that the school has organised the "Red Frogs" people to come and chat to the kids.   Now I assume that the intent here is to warn the kids about some of the dangers at Schoolies. There is a word for the unintended consequences of laws.  I wonder if that applies.

A few definitions...
Schoolies is nominally a week immediately following the end of the final year of grade 12 where the just graduated students head to the gold coast for a week of sin and debauchery.

Red Frogs is/are an organisation / group of well motivated mostly young adults who attend to provide counseling and support to these kids. As I understand it they carry some red frogs and offer the kids are red frog as a conversation starter.   So these are the good guys.

The third group - the baddies - you gotta have a resident evil, are the toolies. The toolies are the18+ people who come to the coast hoping to take advantage of the naive schoolies.

To ponder....
 On the one hand do we keep our kids in ignorance and hope they do not get into trouble?
Does one educate and hope that knowledge leads to sensible decisions?
Do 17year olds works as a logica machine anyway

It seems to me that had the red frogs person not make the offer of pancakes and something seem so attractive then Marcus and his mates would have been content with having their grade12 coming of age somewhere else.
