This helping Barron excuse is wearing thin -- she needs a better one. At 18 many join the military--- without mommy --- and even more are setting up hot plates in their dorm rooms --- again without mommy.
I'm guessing Barron wanted to be in Wisconsin with his brothers, Tiffany AND his dad.
No it doesn’t. Your explanation is fine for the average citizen. Baron is not. He is a high target for kidnappers and assassins. For a young man under the scrutiny he is under and threats (and I am sure there are many that we don’t know about) trying to navigate that and a very high pressure college like NYU isn’t easy. He will likely need 24/7/365 security and how would that work trying to be an average Joe living in a dorm??? You might want to school yourself about what high profile people need to do to protect themselves from real threats.
