Too late. I talked with her mother and my reasoning was thus:

If my daughter was 17 and the same thing happened, I would want to know about it. If I had never talked with her mother before, then perhaps I wouldn't bring her in to it but I have. Her mother is an involved parent that wanted to know about how safe our house was and our neighborhood because she cares about her child's safety. I'm likely going to be similar with my daughter and I would want to know that she made such a horrible decision. It's not my place to withhold such information from her mother after taking the time prior to leaving to ensure that our home was a safe one etc. Obviously, it wasn't that safe Saturday night.
