Well the wiki article did say that her friends considered her parents restrictive and oppressive. So I think it is fair to say here account is more or less true.

And yea the girl had some problems, real problems. But most if not all could be tied to how controlling her parents were. Moving out would have been the better choice, but I would put money on her dad coming after her and dragging her home if she had done that.

All in all this would have been easily avoided with just a little compassion.
