Actually, I would never leave my child in a foreign country with somebody we had just met (if that really is the case). The mother is not evil but on this occasion she was negligent. I know of parents that let their children celebrate their exam success by allowing them to go on holiday, but this is after they have done their A levels and this is travelling with people the parents know and trust, with strict guidelines to stay together at all times.
The 15 year old may have looked and acted older than her age but she is of school age. Her daughter should have been with her at all times.
