>>I stand by that. The comment didn't say "under certain circumstances" or "with proper planning".<<

You can stand by it all you want. It doesn't make it less incorrect.

There is no correlation between "living in fear" and denying international travel ability to a teenager. I don't think most people would call that being overprotective, but at least that description isn't unreasonable. But describing this view as living "in fear" is. I don't "live in fear" and I wouldn't even consider allowing my teenager to travel under circumstances different from what I described earlier.

You need to cut this loose. This is silly of you to argue.

"Ridiculous....why would anyone, even divorced parents, let their 18 year old go out of the country without them?? Stupid. Exactly. I hope other parents learn a lesson from this. "Teenagers have no business leaving the country, I don't care if it is next door," there is no place like America. However, I do pray for this child and her parents...things do not look good.

I responded to this, not to you, not to your "conditions", not to anything else. I am not incorrect. I am correct.

Your problem is a mystery to anyone who has been reading this in it's entirety.
