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.


Well, unless the rules have changed, back in the early 60’s I flew back and forth between Miami and Bogota, Colombia a number of times. I was 13-14 years old.

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.

Interesting story, and sorry about the leaky diaper.

I was under the impression that international agreements on sex trafficking - which passed after the 1960s - forbade children to leave or enter a country alone.

When all the Central American “kids” started pouring across the Mexican border a couple years ago - instead of just catching a bus to Los Angeles - I assumed those same laws were still in effect.
