I doubt these are parking tickets. Drivers licenses do not get suspended for parking tickets. Moving violations yes but not parking tickets.
By not paying the fine or showing up in traffic court to contest the tickets, she was deemed guilty and sentenced to pay a fine. By not paying the fine, she could do jail time. That is the only options the court has according to the law, but now, she is a “victim” and may escape any consequences for not only disobeying the law(s) but being a scofflaw.

Let me tell you about a personal experience I had with a traffic citation. While on active duty at Ft. Lewis Washington U.S. Army , I received a speeding ticket which I paid ( timeline 1986)I was on my motorcycle on an island somewhere in Puget Sound....forget the name of the island. Fast forward to 1991, I ran a yellow light in Pasco county Florida and was informed that my license was suspended out of Washington state? I had my drivers license from Massachusetts AND a license from Florida (in state because I owned property as the law was then )... I got arrested ...car towed, night in jail and went to court then released with a return date after my plea of not guilty. SO, I paid the towing and storage fee...got my vehicle and spent the next two days tracking down the paid ticket conformation because I did not physically possess the receipt of said PAID citation. I never had a drivers license from Washington state while on active duty my Mass. license is valid...the registry in Florida never notified me of my in state license being suspended by a state 2500-2800 miles away for an unpaid speeding ticket. After hundreds of dollars all I got was ......crickets......the towing contractor got paid...the court took money for the court costs...continued without adjudication was applied and everyone turned their back when I asked why I was not notified by mail when BOTH registries Massachusetts and Florida had my mailing addresses?? So all of you posting about “ don’t drive if you can’t pay a ticket crap “ should think twice before uttering such blind alliance to the slush fund known as traffic citations. I am an independent conservative .
