Can a teen girl sue her parents for being locked out of the house if she is attacked because of it?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) April 2nd, 2011

If a teen girl who repeatedly violates curfew gets locked out of the house because her parents were at their wits end in trying to get her to obey it by telling her if she comes in after 1am one more time she will be locked out; she ignores the warning and gets locked out and while walking a few blocks over to an aunts house she is attacked, sexually assaulted and beat near to death, can she sue her parents? Is she at fault because she chose to violate the curfew after being warned numerous times or should the parents, in spite of what they say or threaten, have stayed up to let her in or stashed a key somewhere and left the alarm unarmed?
