Let us put this story back into context. 17-year olds today are absolutely clueless about the world, 17-year olds in our region of the world today are even more clueless about the world are they are constantly cocooned by their families, oversurrounded by their parents and do not get a chance to experience the world by themselves and learn how to be street-smart. I absolutely disagree with the unfounded and harsh 'open invitation' argument as I know many teenagers who would have foolishly and innocently done the thing, unsuspecting any foul play being so clueless about the world. Mother slapping her daughter, I pity your daughter if this is what you would have done to her upon her return home shaken and traumatized. By the way, the girl in the article appears to be western from her name and so no need to embark on an endless debate about the traditions of this part of the world as she clearly is not fron this part of the world.
