She could vote, join the army or go out by herself at night. 7 chaparones can't watch 100+ misbehaving kids in a foriegn country bar. If they had desired absolute control they should have sent her to a Baptist camp in the states.
She was a big girl now. If you have ever watched even 10 junior high schoolers on band trip, you know how difficult making sure decorum is maintained. Doing same for young adults with alcohol and other vises available is near impossible.
When I was a youngster in Texas I knew a number of young ladies who were willing to stroll down the beach at night after very brief aquaintances. Of course none of them turned up missing or misstreated but had I been a monster they could have. Whose fault would it be, mommie for letting and 18 year old out at night. There are two standards here: Everyone wants to thing thier little darling is sweet, well behaved and chaste. Well a lot of "young ladies" ain't, especially when they are away from home.
