No fuck ups here. If she's harming and feels the need to run from parents instead of "face the music" as you put it, she's obviously in a situation where she feels her life would be better off in a place she wouldn't have to "face the music" for her mental health troubles. What you have done is teach her some vital and useful skills for survival which has probably helped her emancipate herself from her shitty situation. What you've done is a GOOD thing. The alternatives could have been much MUCH worse. As an ex churchist, I can confirm that church is no place for people with mental health issues which lead to self harming. Praying about it, exorcism and reading more Bible only serve to cause more damage. Hopefully she finds her way to some people who can help her with her problems. All you done is give her the tools to survive on her own and for that you should be commended.

In this instance, the same thing would have happened if she wanted a midnight snack even if she wasn’t smoking weed. It’s completely dependent on her not knowing how gas burners work and not listening for the “click” when turning it off.

Pretty stupid the flame was able to be put out while gas was still going through.

You are not an idiot the guy who fitted that hop is

A device like that should not be in your house, people make lots of mistakes every day

It's very unfair if a device will kill you if/when you make a mistake, it should have been designed to cut the gas off to the hob when there is no flame.

You didn't fuck up at all. We'll probably never know but it might even be so that attending your classes is one of the things that gives her the positivity and sense of self worth and reliance that she did not kill herself yet. We'll probably never know but I've sort of been that teenager myself and will tell you it is possible.
