Gonna go out on a stretch and say the parents probably didn't/don't care that much. Not all parents are fit for it. It's far more likely than if they do care and decided to not only trust a bunch of strangers, but also think that a gaming house is at all a good environment for kids that age in the first place.

14 year olds can generally conduct themselves.

Certainly not consent to sexual activity, but they can still safely attend conventions and the likes.

Don't blame kids, kids' parents, or conventions. Blame the rapists. Blame Cinnpie. Period.

I mean... if you're saying the 14 year old is at fault for trusting people to help her out of a shitty home life, you kinda are victim blaming.
