That's horrible. I'm sorry to hear that...

...as a parent, I'm horrified and pissed-off by stories of such parents. Somehow there are always well-intentioned fatheads who appear to want to be their child's pal, more than their parent---and allow outrageous liberties that threaten the kid and everyone around them.
I knew a guy in Memphis whose daily driver in high school (this was in the early 70's)was given to him by dear old dad: a '67 Shelby Cobra 427(yes, a real one) with the engine rebuilt by Holman & Moody for greater output. Somehow, the kid survived.
I don't know what to tell you. This may serve as a cautionary tale for your daughter, that she might steer clear of any future such rides. The thing is: almost any ride w/ teenage drivers is dangerous.
So: where do you draw the line? My kids are 10 and 12---I'm not looking forward to this problem.
Good luck to you---and all the survivors.
Cheers, Bill.
