Not only did she publicly embarass her family, she almost killed someone with her own lack of self-control. The only problem with it was Jacques handling of it and rationale. If he'd used the whole "you comitted assault with a deadly weapon and would have been a murderer if it wasn't for Ironwood" angle instead of his "Schnee name blah blah" rant I would've been on his side all the way. No, not even sort of the way it works. The only reason she inadvertently triggered her powers is because Jacques got physical with her after she reprimanded the crowd for being completely uncaring assholes about a rather serious tragedy that caused great pain to her personally and in which one of her friends died. Jacques did not even make a show of caring about her feelings. A decent father would have shown some understanding of her grief and smoothed it over with the crowd by appealing to that. Had he done that, no accidental summoning would have occurred and thus no pretext for stripping her of anything.
