They can drive and drink in some places and it's a pity they can't vote.

. . . rather than the unsubstantiated assumption that the report was solely out of genuine concern.

I don't think that assumption has been made.

out of spite. . . . Or out of genuine concern

both assumptions are unwarranted. The assumption you think is being made in this story says more about you than it does about the facts.

I think most people were saying Begum was groomed including by a Canadian secret service agent and regardless of whether she was a criminal or not, making her stateless was a violation of international law.

Not sure it has a lot to do with whether a teenager should be allowed out by themselves, and if so for how long.

You're gonna have to read better than that - the assumption I was responding to was voiced in this thread:

Based on the fact that it’s an absolutely ridiculous thing to report to social services.

For the record, I'm not ruling out that the report was made out of spite - as far as I know, we don't know why the report was made. But well I know that trying to offer a balanced, evidenced point of view is no ****ing longer welcome here.

 Do any of you recall the very recent story of the kid who missed that last bus home in Tenerife?  He was 17 and it didn’t end well.

he was 19!

im not sure i understand your point - is it that teenagers should never be allowed to travel?  Or that if you let teenagers travel they should be educated and equipped for problems?  Do we know that Allsop Jnr was ill equipped?

Was gonna say, if you were talking about Jay Slater he was 19.

Regardless of any of that, in Scotland he could move out, marry someone and get a job as soon as he's 16. That could be a matter of days. So what's the difference?

I’d rather do it at 16, with a load more cash and preparation.

Excellent opportunity to teach them the benefits of rawdogging.
