I'm not sure this was the best way to handle the situation, but then again, I'm not the parent of a teenager, and it seems to have worked, at least in the short run. Sometimes it takes something extreme to really hammer the message home. As others have said, at least the parents are engaged in their daughter's life and are taking an active role in making sure she does well. It seems like benign neglect would be a bigger disservice to their daughter than this.
