As the mom of 3, and my oldest a girl, I can testify that the girl who tragically fell to her death would'nt have stayed in the safe hotel room, unless the chaperone chained her to the bed.

But that essentially is what a chaperone is supposed to do. My kids went on a choir trip to Texas. One of the boys tried to sneak out in the middle of night and was surprised to find the chaperone in hall, waiting for him. That's why being a chaperone is hard work and this woman saw this as a Hawaiian vacation and it seems to me didn't even do the minimum. My goodness, telling a teenager to go out without going with her and setting a curfew at 2am? That's criminally neglegent. She's lucky that she wasn't charged.

Uh the "kids" were 18.

Last I checked that is legal age to do whatever you feel like without getting someone above you(like a parent) held responsible.

They had no responsbility to someone 18 or over.
