As the 16-year-old sailor Abbie Sunderland was rescued and headed to Madagascar, a responsible game began, and her parents wisely allowed her to try traveling the world when she was young.

As a 16-year-old parent, I do not intend to follow the Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez's route, and after encouraging my child to have a big dream, I suggested that I confine her to her room . As long as you can pay it yourself, I just want to make big dreams.
That is why I am bothered - Why must Australia and other countries save her from now? No, I am not saying that she should not be rescued - of course, she should be right for everyone, including Abbey who is a competent sailor in this situation.
But the Australian newspaper reports that the cost of rescue activities will be as much as $ 300,000. When asked about this, Abbey's mother said, "We are not rich, how much would you pay for your child's life?" why?
Sunderland is wealthy enough to offer two children all over the world on a sailing trip. They have enough money to own a yacht management business.
To my surprise, if they want to encourage and support children to make these dreams, they should pay an extra $ 500,000 if their children are in trouble.
Update: June 16, the daily beast reported that the actual rescue cost was about 1.1 million dollars, mainly paid by Australians. Perhaps they should make a reality show with Abby.
