They should sue Travelodge. Haven’t those idiots heard of FAMILIES? I wonder what they would do if a single mom rented a room with her teenage son?
What a creepy evil empire. Probably a good idea for families to avoid its other domains, too. Never cared much for the color red on coats anyway.
What is this culture saying, “teach your daughter to be afraid of her father’???
“Travelodge have given Karl a full refund for his stay and offered him an apology. “
Nice try Travelodge... Now get out your checkbook because your going for a ride.
Holy shoot.
Seems unfair as I have traveled and shared a room with a tween/teen son, we did this all theme on sports competition trips, and no one ever accused me of pedophilia.
I understand the hotel doesn’t want to sit quietly when a 45 year old guy comes in with a 13 year old girl. So if the hotel room is $200 the dad has now to pay for two rooms, I guess. Because kids don’t usually carry ID. I guess the best thing to do is to get your kids a passport or something. But what if the kid has a different last name from dad? Then what?
It’s tough. When my pedophile was stopped by police he pretended I was his niece and I sat quietly. I now wish I hadn’t but I was too young to know better. Pedophiles do get away with this stuff by pretending the kid is their relative. So what is a good solution? I guess dads carrying the girl’s passport round with him?
Because if you have several or even two children and have to travel with one, the mom had to stay home sometimes with the other child. It’s a real situation. My own dad had enough $ that he would always get me my own room. Not everyone can afford that, and of course who wants their 13 year old daughter in a room by herself where she could sneak out unnoticed, also?
OK, no one can ever go on vacation with one’s teenage children ever again.
