Let her go? Are you kidding me? Do you realize where "her dream" came from? It's all on the website interview of the father. When she was 13 her father took her on a cruise up the coast. The weather was terrible and she was complaining the whole way, yet the cruise continued for several days. At the end of the trip the fater asked her "Abbey, are you ready to sail around the world now"?
No, I’m not kidding.
She’s 16. She’s a child. It’s her parents decision, not hers.
The world would be in far better shape if more parents exercised their parental duties.
Giving a child whatever they want is spoiling them and creates the type of entitlement mentality that dominates the left.
I’m aware as well, that her parents may have created this idea in her - that just makes it even worse. But I’m not assuming that’s the case. I know a lot of kids who are driven themselves - it’s still their parents job to parent them.
Best case - she chose to do this herself, and her parents should have said no.
Worst case - they pressured her to do it. And they shouldn’t have.
Lots of possibilities in between - but all of them lead to the same conclusion. This child should not have been at sea alone.
