I don’t know that we can say she is a lousy parent.

Kids do really stupid things despite our best intentions. And kids have been having sex for, dare I say, centuries, despite being under pretty strict supervision.

How many of us got away with things our parents were sure we weren’t doing?

Kids do really stupid things despite our best intentions.

That's true. But kids with working parents tend to do more, just because they don't have the guidance as often. And it's not even the issue of what the daughter did, but how she is being treated now. I wouldn't want my 17 year old pregnant daughter being the subject of every newspaper or my grandchild being scrutinized from the day they were born. It's a bad enough situation without making it very public and the topic of household conversation.
