If you were the parent would you have allowed your 16 year old daughter
to attempt to sail around the world alone? |
I'm with you on this, although I don't have kids and no authority on the subject. I wouldn't let my 16 year old girl go out at night alone past 11 pm regardless of the neighborhood. The parents are out of their minds. Clearly they think the daughter can fend off bad people in boats who approach her on her own. Stupid.
