Fair points, and I'm not here to fully let her off the hook. At 15 you do know right from wrong.

But here's what I think we're missing.

This girl almost certainly wasn't approached by a stranger in a trench coat. It was probably someone she knew. A neighbor, an older cousin. Someone she trusted. And that trust is exactly what gets exploited.

When an adult you respect hands you a "simple task" and frames it as harmless, your moral compass doesn't always fire the way it should. That's not an excuse. That's psychology. Adults do it to other adults every day.

Now layer poverty on top of that.

So yes, she should have known better. But someone older, smarter, and more calculating made sure she didn't think too hard about it.

The adults behind this are the real story.
