But wait, in many states a 13YO girl can get an abortion without parental consent, but it's a heinous crime for a 13YO girl to get her navel pierced.

What is wrong with that picture?

The mother is not facing criminal charges because the girl got her navel pierced. She's facing charges for failing to seek medical attention for the girl over a period of at least 2 weeks after the infection became severe and spread beyond the piercing area. Mom's paranoia about doctors apparently led her to try home treatment instead. Paramedics found the girl near death, but already wearing an oxygen mask which was apparently part of mom's home treatment program.
