And that, my dear lady, was my point exactly. Thank you for stating it more clearly than I....

People need someone to tell them when their behavior is inappropriate.

No- she needs to learn early on that that kind of behavior is not acceptable. Otherwise, she will continue to behave that way all through her life. People like that make life miserable for everyone around them. I wish someone had done it to my sister in law when she was 17. Maybe she would be so crass and rude now...
