You can't really tell. It's a news article which always leave things out,
and even if it is totally complete and accurate, you never really know what
a teenager (or anyone for that matter) is really up to. And the parents want
to believe (and publicize) certain stories. So this is sad but essentially
meaningless in terms of any conclusions that could be drawn.
