Let me tell you how stupid these parents are, beyond the obvious. (spoilers)

This girl just says "I pushed her." And at one point, she tells her dad, "I pushed her because of you."

That's it? Neither parent is smart enough to ask why? The mother was a effing lawyer. Familiar with law. It's her job to get the story, yet she never bothers to ask of any details that led to her daughter killing another girl. What an insult that someone would write/direct such rubbish and expect viewers to not question such stupidity.

they just assumed that britney was having a crush on the father, given the messed up situation they didn't have the capacity to go over details i guess, but like generally this movie was full of criminally stupid acts
1- faking your death to meet a boyfriend
2- telling your parents that you killed your friend to get them together
3- when your friend's father lash out on you in the streets and things get way out of control don't end the sick game just play along
4- killing brit's father? brilliant!!
they all need to go to jail for being too stupid to function

I think the parents were too schocked to know that their daughter is a murderer.
But they later did ask for the why.
Their girl was jealous.
That*s often a reason to do sth stupid.
They believed her.
