"The parents of that girl need more education than she does if they can't see that the worst scenario in this case is to kill their daughter psychologically," Suzanne Ball said in a letter to The Oklahoman.

I think it's hilareous when a news organization 'hits the streets' to get opinions from joe shmoe walking down the street, or letters sent in for that matter. I can tell you that Suzanne Ball is not qualified to make such a statement, as it take quite a lot to 'kill' someone 'psychologically'. First off, psychosematic fatilities are still only a theory, being debated on the outer fringes of modern psychology. Secondly, this woman is a bafoon.
If this mother's daughter was living ina world where she thought that getting bad grades and having poor attendance would have no consequences, then she was living in a fantasy. In order to bring her daughter back to the real world, the mother had to use unorthodox methods. It worked.
