Boarding - two 16yr old girls going to Paris in a party via train with 18 boys. Usual result is 16 disappointed boys, and two distraught girls.
Girl A is going out with Boy A who is celebrating his 18th. Girl B is best friend of Girl A, and this will be her first trip away.
My role - nurse, but also parent in 'loco-parentis'
I know students very well. I know the hurt that often happens on trip. I know parents usually have no idea what goes on during such trips. These trips happen every year, and I'm left to pick up the pieces, whether it be intoxicated/drugged kid in ICU, head injury, or some other nasty surprise.
I call parents of girl A to make sure they are aware daughter is with 18 boys. Rationale, I'm a parent and I know my father would never have let my sister go on such a trip. Also figuring out my role as i'm considered a nurse and a parent.
What do I do, - I call father of girl A who gets angry, tells me off, says he trusts his daughter. Due to the angry reaction, I don't call the parents of Girl B
Result - girl B and girl A are in my office on monday morning, trying to figure out if girl B has been raped.
Boyfriend of girl A had a best friend who booked a room in hotel forhimself as well as girl B, and girl B felt she had to share a room/bed with him because she had left the booking up to the boys, and along with alcohol, eventually consented, but now not so sure.
It's not always easy figuring out what the best thing too do.

I just had a thought; maybe OP is a hack TV writer and to flesh out his story, he's come to AN to stir up some ideas for his characters....dialog, personalities and the like. Hmmmmm.
For a minute, I thought I was reading "The Dirty" and was scrolling down to see names of those involved or Nik's commentary. Then I realized I was on allnurses.
Honestly, I think everyone is confused because you haven't clearly explained the situation. There is nothing comparable to the job you have described in America. In the US, the kids wouldn't pick their rooms, definitely wouldn't have boys and girls rooming together, wouldn't be allowed to go off unchaperoned, etc. The story makes no sense
