My daughters 14 year old friend at cheerleading camp (4 states away) broke her arm. The camp staff (maybe in their early 20s) took her to the ER for x-rays, the doctor splinted it & referred the girl to an orthopedic doctor. Her parents didn't come to take her to an orthopedic doctor, they let her finish out 5 more cheer camp days in a splint for a broken arm & then ride home on the camp bus. She had to have surgery to reset it after she got home.

A few years later, another of my daughters friends got alcohol poisoning. I took her to the ER. Her parents were divorced & her father was going to punish her by not letting her go to university and she'd have to come clean his apartment. I certainly understood why her mother divorced her father after overhearing that conversation.
