The people saying 16 year olds should go off and brave the wilds without any support on here are embarrassments. It proves you can’t make any assumptions on anyone just because they chat on a website. Ever. Maybe back in the day kids did high wire acts without nets, but would there really be any reason to now?

I would wager if her parents anticipated what she is now going thru and the possibility of her death...they wouldn't have allowed or encouraged her to do it. No matter how they try and paint it.

I don't believe in sheltering our children, but I do think we should do our darnest to keep them out of harms way...not push them toward it.
