55. In the case you describe, a judge
most likely wouldn't rule in the girl's favor.

A judge would tell the minor that she has fine supportive parents, and she needs to go home and tell them what happened. Part of being a responsible individual is fessing up when you do something wrong.

The judicial bypass is not for minors who are afraid to disappoint their parents. It's for minors who have a legitimate fear of abuse. That didn't sound like the case you described.
