The parents were watching, communicating with each other and put an end to the irresponsible person's supervision of the young people.

Parents are responsible for their children first and foremost. I suspect that the parents were afraid to say anything about a priest. I can understand if one parent has a problem communicating with his child but all parents in such a large group? The parents were afraid to criticize a priest. That's my guess.
