Perhaps, but think about it. This is an example where her parents flat out exploited their child’s talent for their own short term self interest. Their is no way a middle school child can wisely make that calculation. This is not someone who had to drop out of school take in washing to support her brothers and sisters because the parents were incapacitated. They ruthlessly viewed their daughter as a commodity as a path to riches. If the “wiki bio” is to be believed at least the mother had second thoughts.
Yes, her parents fault not hers
