I may live in a very small world, but I don't know of any 13 y.o. girls who are allowed to decide to spend the night with a friend on their own, even leaving a note for parents. Most I know are required to call one or both parents and get permission first and also have the other parent verify that it is okay with them. Maybe Billie trusted Hailey, IDK. But this is not good parenting, IMO.

I agree! I trusted my own children (who are grown now) in great part because we always had a good relationship. BUT..that sure didn't mean that I trusted anyone else, including any friends or their parents... even if I had no reason not to..that's my job as a parent. IMO, there is just no excuse @ that age to not make contact.. unless it was planned ahead of time...and there is no excuse either for BD not picking up a phone to make sure she got there..JMHO..
I realize some may disagree and that's ok..but when it comes to my kids, I just was never willing to take that chance myself..
