The teenage girl has been questioned and bailed by police investigating an alleged £20,000 wrecking spree at the four-bedroomed detached house. Around 200 youngsters turned up at the house after a "Skins" party was advertised on 17-year-old Rachael Bell's MySpace website.

The sixth-form student has since said someone altered the invitation to attract hundreds of young revellers to the family home in Chipchase Court, Woodstone Village, in County Durham.

The party-goers caused mayhem during a wrecking spree in which seven police cars and a dog unit were called to the quiet cul-de-sac. During the bedlam Rachael said she suffered a panic attack and unwanted revellers were climbing through windows in a bid to gatecrash the out-of-control bash.

Still too ashamed to face her parents she told the Sunderland Echo: "I totally regret it. It was just supposed to be a party with a few friends and it turned into a complete nightmare. I'm sorry mam."

The sixth-form student said classmates hacked into her MySpace internet site and invited teenagers from across the country to an all-night party in the quiet suburban street.

Her distraught mother Elaine said her life had been turned upside down and wants whoever ransacked her house to be prosecuted.

The mother-of-four was close to tears as she spoke about how the incident was tearing her family apart and how she now has grave fears about her daughter's well-being.

The 48-year-old teacher returned from a short caravan break to find her home trashed and Rachael in hiding.

The devastated mother, whose last words to her daughter were "I don't want any kids or drink in the house", said it felt as if her "house had been raped" when she viewed the wanton damage.
