But seeing all the breaking news on CNN and other major news networks last week about a young Laura Dekker of the Netherlands who fled made me think, wow what are my kids going to the planning when they reach that age.

For Laura, it all started when he was denied by the District Court of Utrecht the right to sail around the world for herself at the age of 14. After taking the news very hard Laura decided to flee, and somehow managed to finish how 5000 miles away in the Caribbean islands. The question remains how someone that age could manage to get this far before being found by authorities. Laura's mother was first reported her missing on Friday, which fortunately allowed on Sunday was found unharmed.

I think it's great for a young boy to have the knowledge and experience to actually accomplish a task so remarkable, but it is a bit dangerous at such a young age. The hands she probably knows more about sailing then most of the world, but at least wait a couple more years to make a long journey, which roughly about 9 months.

Despite that he grew up sailing with their parents before they divorced when she was younger, you would think that his father, whom some say is the person who helped to know the dangers of being at sea for so long. I know I dreamed and hoped to be the youngest person in the world that once this amazing trick, which is currently power of the record of 17 years Mike Perham Britain. But at the age of 14 I believed that the court was right to rule against him.

At the end of your hearing told the court that officials reassess their case in July 2010 that she was still some hope of becoming the youngest person to cross the world alone. But after what I've done by running out to the court shows that she may be ready to do rational knowledge, but emotionally and mentally not.
