If she was over 18, then I'd agree, she should be allowed to do whatever other adults are allowed too. However she was 16 years old, two years too young to legally drink and doing it in the street not in a pub.
The mother still has a duty of care here due to her age, so if the mother thinks that she is unable to take criminal responsibility due to her age and condition, why is she letting her out to go drinking on the street?
"If the mother thinks she is unable to handle being abused by the only people in the country allowed to employ violence due to her being a minor and autistic, why is she letting her go outside and socialize with her friends?"
Nice victim blaming you got there buddy
If anything I'm blaming the mother for being irresponsible.
Yea this autistic girls guardians seem to be abusive or at very least neglectful, and so? Was your point that the mom sounds like she sucks?
