What am I missing here?
Sixteen year old Abby Sunderland is now sending out emergency beacons and has lost contact with her family. Now she is lost somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
The story is here.
Rescue efforts are underway.
Abby was keeping a blog of her journey, which you can read here.
I hope she's found safe and sound and I wish someone would explain to me why this is okay from a parenting standpoint.
Update: She's been found and is fine, thank goodness. I still think it's a bonehead idea, however. Glad she's okay!
