Yep, I agree. Also it sounds like the parents are too willing to automatically bail her out whenever she screws up, which prevents her from becoming self reliant and mature. When she got stranded, unless she was in imminent danger, the correct response to her situation IMO would be "You obviously figured out how to get there, now find a way to get back. You're an adult now."
