I'm not sure of you question here. Do you want to know what type of penalties your daughter is facing, or do you want to know if releasing her to another adult was proper, or is there something else would like know?
As for her penalties, she is now considered to be a repeat offender. She is also looking at 3 separate violations. I think that it is safe to assume that some incarceration may be imposed. However, without more facts it's hard to say for sure. For one thing, just how old is your daughter?
As for her being released to another adult other than yourself, just who was this other adult?
If you could provide more details here, that will be helpful.

I'm not quite sure what your question is here. I think you're asking if you can sue because your daughter was released to another adult without notifying you. I assume your daughter is a minor. If not, there is no issue at all. If she is, you are correct in that you should have been called. You don't have much of a case, though, because lawsuits require proof of damages and I don't see that there are any here. If your daughter is going to drive, have her apply for a license and get her some insurance!
