Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Jersey

My 18 year old daughter to a concert with an ex-friend (17 years old) and were waiting to see the bands they waned to see. While waiting they decided to see a psychic for fun. The psychic told her friend that she would die at 80 years old which made her completely freak out and said they had to leave. My daughter worked for a month to pay for the concert and did not get to see a single band she wanted to. In addition, my daughter paid $80 for the concert ticket, $25 for parking, paid for gas, and drove. Her friend did not offer to give her money for the parking or gas money. In addition, my daughter even loaned her money to pay for the psychic which caused this whole problem. As they were leaving my daughter was devastated and cried because of missing her once in a lifetime opportunity. Her friend promised over and over again that her mother would pay her back for the money. However, it has been several weeks with no sign of returning the money. My daughter emailed her friend's mother yesterday and wanted to discuss if she would get the money back. My daughter was accused of being selfish, when she could have stayed at the concert, which was very very unsafe for a small girl to be alone at. The mother emailed my daughter back saying there's nothing she is going to do because she had the option of staying alone. Her mother apparently would rather have my daughter get raped or hurt alone at this concert than keep her promise of returning the money. Does my daughter have a chance at taking this to small civil court to get the money that was promised to her?
