She should have been forced to sit home by the fireplace and read the bible until mama could finally stomach cutting the cord and letting her precious baby take a risk.

So those are the only options open to the typical American 16 year old? Sit by the fireplace and read the Bible or circumnavigate the earth...ALONE? How about a first date and taking driving lessons as acceptable risks for such kids.
