Sounds hard to believe.
Unless the rules have changed, children under 18 can’t leave or enter any country I have been to unless they are accompanied by a family member.

And one of those times I had my one year old sister with me. Just me, her, and the diaper bag. One thing nice was that I got a lot of attention from the stewardesses. And this was back in the good old days when they were all knockouts, in their 20’s, and unmarried.
Hey, a kid can dream, right?
Landing at Miami I was walking down the stairs from the plane, holding my sister down in front of me. Her plastic diaper cover had leaked on me and it looked like I had wet MY pants.
As I got to the tarmac a little Jewish lady who was waiting for someone else to disembark, asked me how old I was. I told her I was 14, and she said, “And already with with a baby?” Then she just shook her head and tsk,tsked a few times.
When I took my 14 year old daughter to Mexico with me they wanted a written note from her father saying it was ok for her to leave the US with me. I said.....if you can find him I’ll get one. They wound up saying ok, go ahead.
I guess things have changed. Lol

There are thousands of children that fly unaccompanied to foreign countries. Airlines have special programs for this purpose. The child has to have a passport and special measures are taken to make sure that the designated person is the only one that can pick them up at the destination after they clear customs. Usually the program is mandatory for children between 5 and 15, but there are exceptions if they are traveling with a relative that is 16 or 17.
