No, not at all, not even close....she said her parents were involved in an accident that happened in a mine. The incident that the Atlesian bitches laughed at before Ilia broke their teeth. if you're going to state not even close... go exact, she said her Friends, not her parents, I just checked the transcript, her parents were only stated to have been miners, we still don't know for a fact if either was in the mine that day, or if either are dead, we do know that her getting out of the miners life was rare, so said friends may have even been her age.

She only ever mentioned one group of friends, the bitches that snickered at people dying. She said her parents worked in the mines. She said there was a cave in at the mines. She said she turned blue and started sobbing uncontrollably after hearing that before breaking the bitches teeth. She is currently in a terrorist organization on a small continent thousand of miles away from where she once lived.

Evidence suggests her parents are dead, or they are alive and she is a runaway, but that is heavily unlikely since she said it was volatile dust, the collapse could have killed them seeing as wood was enough to kill An, mountains of Rock is enough to kill two faunus parents, not to mention by time any rescue attempt came, if any was made at all which is unlikely given Atlas' prejudice against Faunus, they would have inhaled alot of Dust Particles, making them all but dead. Nick Schnee had to step down from working with the particles, these guys were working with them and would inhale more from the collapsing suppositories. They are dead. They just didn't outright say it, and by not doing so made Ilia's lack of saying it make sense, as in the pain is still great enough she can't bring herself to say it outloud.
