ummmmp ahhh, how was a 16 year old able to travel to a foreign country - let along that region - without verified, signed legal docs from parents?
My 16 year old niece had a terrible time getting into Canada, even tho she had signed parental slip, an older sister with her and being met by my son-in-law, a US Navy pilot on 'loan' to RCAF in Nova Scotia. They were going to send her back on ferry to US alone!

Is there a 16 year old in this country without documents proving that he or she is at least 18? Maybe 21?
I sure do wonder where he got his passport, though. Fake passports are a big issue these days.
