The British Navy used to take boys who were younger than that and send them sailing around the world.

Meh. If her son (and his friend) is smart and responsible, and have prepared a firm itinerary, its no big deal.

I could have easily managed it when I was 15-16

The leftist new ethos sexuality’s kids too young and adultizes them to old.

Old enough to whack his wiener off, but too young for a train trip. Ahh, to be a progressive.

In the movie, “Taken”, the hero’s (played by Liam Neeson) daughter is 17-years old who travels to Paris with a friend and is kidnapped.

“But many others criticized her, raising all the usual raucous: He’s too young. Anything could have happened. The world is unsafe. And so on.”

Before the Great Migration no one would have given a second thought to teens traveling without adults. Now things are different, but Europeans know it’s best left unsaid.

Letting a 15 year old go on a trip around Europe without supervision is outrageous.

I backpacked around Europe when I was 16, with my 15 year old buddy. No fixed itinerary, no cell phones, just a collect call to parents once a week to say we were OK. We got separated and both made our way back across the continent safely.

"He's too young. Anything could have happened. The world is unsafe."

Probably safer than the UK.

It depends on the individual, of course, as the lady says. One of my favorite travel books - it's way more than that - is by one Patrick Leigh Fermor, who "left" school at 17 and took a little walk from the Netherlands to Istanbul. Clearly an extraordinary young man, but A Time Of Gifts is an extraordinary book, and even he checked in weekly with his parents.

It didn't seem to hurt him much. After he finished he shacked up with a Romanian princess and then joined the Commandos, wherein he kidnapped a German general. Obviously every teeneager couldn't pull all that off, but you don't know until you try.
