I think you're being pretty naive here. Not surprising, but whatever.

Nobody is saying that parents should lock their parents up. Those of us who live in reality understand that kids getting plastered at age 15 is more than likely not a good idea. Those of us who live in reality understand that the world is screwed up, and we can't change or control that. We can however try to teach our kids to be responsible, to not go get plastered when they are 15. That is all we CAN control.

That doesn't mean locking kids up. It means trying your best to prepare kids for situations like this so they know how to protect themselves.

Strangely enough, somehow what you're gleaming from that is that we all blame her parents. Nobody is blaming her or her parents. We are putting ourselves in their shoes and asking how we can prevent something like this. That is what EVERY single damn father and mother who has heard about this is doing right now.
