Everyone involved has regrets...and blame.
The friends admit the girl was popular and a bit
on the wild side. Parents choose NOT to admit that
tidbit about their otherwise "perfect" daughter.
Any parent who thinks their child will obey ALL
rules when out of sight of home and family are
less than realistic. Booze, ciggies, going into
the hotel room of two boys after midnight? Hello!
Those boys are guilty as well. They were perfectly
willing to sow some wild oats. The girl should NOT
have been in their room. But then, they were
probably used to the routine in the co-ed dorms
back home.
As for the chaperone...I probably feel she is
NOT the chaperone of choice for my kids.
If she knew these girls as well as she
thought she did, she'd also know that at least one
of the gals would break the curfew. At the time
kids make a "promise" they definitely mean it. THE
temptation to break that promise shows up quite a
bit later. And how many kids have reported in BEFORE curfew, then sneaked out again once bed check was
finished?
Of what. She was a legal adult.
