I don't see how they could have written the story without mentioning that she was absent from school because the teachers were striking. Teachers are in loco parentis during school time. Thursday was school time.

I think you'll just have confused the hell out of some on here with Latin terms!

It's hardly the fault of the teachers, and it could have happened when she was with her own parents, family or friends.

Tragic story.
