I briefly thought maybe her parents were with her in these demonstration but why not mention them when talking to Sun? a simple line like "My parents brought me to White Fang demonstration to fight for our rights" and if they would be agains it she would only had to mention "I went to White Fang demonstration despite my parents forbidding me." But they purposely went out of their way to mention her alone. I do believe she started going to demonstration on her own but was taken in by someone. Someone must have trained her and Adam.

As for Weiss, she will have to deal with her father first. This might not be easy.
