Whose saying I support the church? They are obvious whack-jobs, along with the parents. I'm not by any means excusing them or their screwy practices.
I'm just saying the girl was 15 - no one put a gun to her head and walked her into the church.
Maybe is just a European thing. Kids here start drinking when they are 15 or so - it is not considered a big deal. 14-15 year olds are fiercely independent and well capable o handling themselves, even if not deemed yet an adult.
They can drive and in many countries they can even join the military and/or be tried as an adult in court.
She had options. Sure it is fucked, no one is blaming her, just pointing out it is odd she didn't act sooner.
