As a parent, it is your duty to decide which "dreams" or grandiose fantasies of adventure your sixteen year old should be doing. It is called responsible parenting. A sixteen year old brain is NOT fully developed and the adult should be assisting with these big decisions about life and death stunts. That way when they are an adult, they will be alive to do more! It was a poor choice to allow the sixteen year old to venture into the wilds to endanger her life and now the lives of those looking for her. As a society, we ALL pay for this adventure in one form or another and NOBODY benefits from her "heroic" death.
