I agree with you except for the free pass on her parents. A building is only as good as its foundation, and although she was given a sound economic foundation, her moral one was less than satisfactory - at least on the evidence at hand. Her physical age may have been 30, but her maturity level was far below that.

Buildings often crumble because the builders have to deal with unexpected elements.
I'm trying to teach my child right from wrong. My efforts are constantly hindered by society, TV, radio, school, other adults, etc.
It is an ongoing battle. The problem is, I'm the parent, but everyone else wants to be when it comes to teaching what is right and wrong, what is moral and immoral, etc.
So, I have to earn my kid's trust.
Despite all my effort, the kid still chooses and I have to deal with discipline and punishment myself...until adulthood.
I have many siblings. We all had the same parents, yet at least one is stupid and commits crimes. Knowing full well right from wrong - I blame my sibling, not our parents.
If this gal hadn't died, do you think she could tell you if what she was doing was right or wrong? I bet most fools could - it's the choice of an adult over their upbringing.
Ask 1st graders about what is right and what is wrong. I'd guarantee that in most simple issues that adults are criminals - the kids can tell you the adults were wrong.
Considering voters - should they have listened to their parents - or should they realize that both parties suck and being a member of the TWO parties is foolish because they don't represent well.
If you want to talk about immaturity, look at voters and a Congress with a favorable rate in the teens.
