It's understandable where the mother is coming from, and that she wants to teach her daughter a life lesson. But I really don't think that will be achieved through punishments. It will only confuse and shame her, she can still act out as much as she wants.

If it were me, I would ask my daughter what's wrong, why she would do something like that. I would ask her if she wants to see a therapist, and how she feels about her father's betrayal that caused her family to sunder.

Mother cancels daughter’s senior year vacation after finding out she’s cheating on her boyfriend, daughter runs away to her father’s, forcing the divorced couple to confront their past: “Put your bitterness aside, you’re taking it out on her”
Ahoy girlies of the internet. When we're in high school, we all want our sense of freedom. The angst and hormone driven detest of our parents can be a weight on our shoulders whether we realize it or not. We're not quite old enough to live on our own or support ourselves, yet we're old enough to have the attitude like we own the place. Teenagers are akin to terrible two's, and parents should take everything they do with a grain of salt.
On the side of parents, they want to believe they have full control over their teenagers. Eventually, if your teenager wants to do something, they will. Teenagers have a way of making the impossible happen. They will sneak out, lie, and do whatever it takes to achieve what they want. You can't control them through punishments forever.
In the story below, the protagonist is a mother who finds out her teenage daughter is cheating on her boyfriend. Not only does she condemn this heinous act, but it hits her where it hurts, as her divorce was because of infidelity. You'll have to read the full story below for all the juicy details.
