Ignoring my other answer: This is how I feel in "I need to sleep soon" simple bullet point statements.
1) "She didn't have the right visa and therefor wasn't allowed to enter/had to leave"
Fine. Bad for her. Her fault. Figure this out in 30-60min and help her to figure out a way to head back home.
2) "You should say … and not …" suggestions.
Awful. Especially combined with all the "Just state the truth. But try to avoid saying …" ideas. I really feel that these are out of place. Just look at this thread. You're trained to answer according to the protocol, instead of stating the truth.
3) _Anyone_ suggesting that the "detention" for hours at a time in a grimy place without any contact to the outside world and decent legal counsel is a valid reaction, whatever the potential immigrant failed to explain?
In that case, you are quite messed up in my world. I wonder what's wrong with you.
(the you in this case isn't addressed at the parent - it's the general "if the shoe fits" kind of thing)

That's just terrible and should be a human rights violation. AT THE VERY LEAST the emergency contact that you are required to provide should be informed of your whereabouts.
