That think its a brilliant idea to let their teenage daughter or son sail around the world alone.

    I feel very weird about these "sail around the world solo" kids.  I can't imagine that the kids haven't been programmed, to a great degree, by parents' ambitions for them to be the youngest to claim the honor.

    High School English teacher and mom of 2 kids:

    DD, born 9/06/00 -- 12th grade
    DS, born 8/25/04 -- 7th grade

    I think it is child neglect personally, if not child endangerment.  I don't agree with it at all.  There is a vast difference between climbing even Mount Everest with a child and sending them off to sea for 15,000 to 25,000 miles (depending on the route).
