No, clearly she isn't.
The victim's mother said her daughter's self-esteem has been shattered. "She feels she's somehow to blame," the mother said.
Sounds to me like the mother is even less mature than her daughter. At least the daughter has some sense of responsibility for her role in the incident. The mother's trying to cast her as a helpless, innocent victim and keep her from being held accountable. No wonder the daughter got into trouble.
As for the coach, what a stupid, stupid thing to do. He's ruined his career, very likely his marraige, and possibly the rest of his life.
Exactly. As if a 17 yr old has no idea. Certainly the coach is wrong and at fault, but we shouldn't be encouraging our daughters to flirt with their teachers.
The idea that she shouldn't take responsibility for the situation is the height of foolishness.
