A mother last night urged police to arrest her daughter after the teenager staged a party which caused £20,000 of damage to the family home.

Up to 200 teens from across the country descended on the £230,000 four-bedroom detached home in an upmarket cul-de-sac after 17-year-old Rachael Bell advertised the bash on her Myspace internet site while her parents were staying at a nearby caravan site.

The invitation called the Easter Monday bash a "Skins Unofficial Party" with the subtitle: "let's trash the average family-sized house disco party".

And mimicking scenes from the controversial Channel 4 teen drama Skins, they did just that to Alan and Elaine Bell's house at Chipchase Court, Woodstone Village, a modern housing development between Houghton-le-Spring and Chester-le-Street, County Durham .

Alcohol and drug-fuelled teens wrecked the family home and brought such chaos to the sleepy street police were brought in to break up the bash.

When Rachael's parents returned home on Tuesday morning after being alerted by a neighbour, they found that the party-goers had urinated on Mrs Bell's wedding dress and children's clothes; stolen cash and jewellery; swung on light fittings, ripping them out of the ceiling; left behind buckets of vomit and dyed the girl's brother's Fred Perry clothes "because they didn't like chavs".

Mrs Bell, said: "The house has been raped - totally violated. My wedding dress that has been hanging up for 20 years with a cover on it to keep it clean has been destroyed. Someone has urinated on it and I think someone has even been wearing it. I'm devastated. I can't eat or sleep or get my mind off it. We've been for a little holiday in Whitburn, which isn't far away, because we've got a caravan there.

"Rachael knew that no-one is allowed in the house when we are away and definitely no parties are allowed. It makes me physically sick when I go in the house.

"Rachael has broken my trust and I don't think I want her back in the house."

She said she wanted her daughter arrested for malicious damage.

Mr Bell, also 48, said: "I wouldn't want anybody else to ever go through what we are going through, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy."

Mr Bell said he expected the family to have to move out for a month until the house was professionally cleaned and refitted. Rachael was lying low, believed to be at a friend's house.

Neighbours said they were stunned when taxis and minibuses arrived carrying teenagers, including two who said they had come up from London by train. Mr and Mrs Bell and other residents of Chipchase Court criticised the police for not clearing the house and send the teenagers packing. But a spokesman for Durham police said it was difficult as the guests had been invited into the house.

He said: "We were called to the house after reports of trouble at a private party. Inquiries are under way and we plan to speak to as many of the party-goers as we can. We tried to assist the party goers to disperse peacefully by giving them the numbers of local taxi firms."

'At 4am groups were still arriving'

The Urban Dictionary describes a skins party as: "A huge party in someone's house where nearly everything is broke, lots of people are having sex and almost everyone is either drunk or drugged up."

The invitations were given out through the site www.myspace.com/skinsunofficialparty, but the account has since been deleted.

Yesterday Neighbour Mork Coulson, 45, a senior lecturer in sports science at Sunderland University, tried to intervene in the small hours of the morning.

He said: "The police were first called at 9.30pm by neighbours but by 2am most of the street had phoned the police.

"They had been drinking inside and outside the house. When the police were there at one o'clock in the morning they told the kids to move on but the problem was the kids had nowhere to go because they'd come from London, Yarm and Middlesbrough and so on."

Mr Coulson said at 4am there were still groups coming and going and cars were blocking the street.

He said: "Most of the kids seemed like they were OK, they were just told there was a party. But they got drunk and they had nowhere to stay."

Another neighbour, who declined to be named, said: "We were woken by the sound of teenage voices in the street. They were running around aimlessly. When the police arrived at one stage they ran away into nearby woods and fields.
