You taught the kids something good. You can't control what they do with that knowledge. Hopefully she won't do anything to cause harm to herself. Even with having survival skills, surviving in nature sucks, especially in winter. I certainly wouldn't want to be cold and alone, even with being able to safely get through it.

It sounds like you're doing more to make sure she is safe and feeling cared for than her parents did. You aren't the one that fucked up here in any way.

You didn't fuck up at all. We'll probably never know but it might even be so that attending your classes is one of the things that gives her the positivity and sense of self worth and reliance that she did not kill herself yet. We'll probably never know but I've sort of been that teenager myself and will tell you it is possible.

I'd get the authorities to take it from there, offering your help as they deem necessary.
