DD traveling abroad with friend's high-profile family

[Anonymous]

OP, your post is weird. I have a daughter who is 23 now. She has been traveling without us since she was in the middle school (foreign country class trips, trips with classmates families, solo travel to Europe after high school graduation). She is also in the Caribbean island now. It is normal in our family just to share the itinerary (flight information, resort or airbnb info, excursions schedule if any booked). My husband and I also do this all the time when we travel without each other.

(Don't call them now, only in case you or your husband have some kind of family emergency.)

My parents had no idea where I was staying when I was 20 years old.

Op can call her daughter's phone if this is the case.

Op I can understand wanting to know the name of the resort and travel information. I'm in my 50's.. someone always has our info when we travel.

I don't get this post at all. What parent of a 20yo is going to reach out to you?! As for location/specifics of travel, sure, I'd want to know that. I'm 44 and my mom still likes to know where I go.

Make sure she knows she can call you under any circumstances for judgment-free travel home and support. Make sure she knows never to talk to any authorities without a lawyer or at least an embassy rep.

Otherwise, team DH, I wouldn’t be worried about this personally.

Everyone can be attacked. But a lot of the most dangerous Epstein stuff has to do with power dynamics. So empowering your daughter both practically, with money, and by removing shame as a weapon as much as you can is important.

This! Give her a card, purchase travel insurance and make sure to turn her location on or get a tracker put on her phone and you are good to go. Oh ,and make sure she has reliable birth control (shot or IUD).

Yes, perfect age to be trafficked.

White parents, I assume? You or your kid need to reach out to the parents to get the address. She needs to have location sharing on. She needs to have quick 2 minutes calls with you every day and you need to also have a code phrase to let you know that she is ok. Other than that, she can go and enjoy herself. If the family is kosher they should not have any problem in all of this.

We do the same thing. My entire family has location sharing on. I have two kids in two different colleges. They go on mini vacations with their roommates and friends, all the time. We have a family group and we will post the picture of the license plate of the cab, location sharing, hotels, meals we are eating etc with each other.

I would just say you need to know where she is staying, and would appreciate exchanging (or daughter exchanging ) contact info with the parents, in case of an emergency on either end.

That is reasonable for you to request.

(I say this as someone whose mother died when I was away on a two day business trip. Luckily my sister knew where I was staying)

Oh, flight info also.

The secret code idea and daily phone call are excessive.

TLDR
I'm 50 and whenever my family travels, we hand the entire plan over to a family member unless it's basic like I'm going to Orlando for Disney. actually, now that i think about it, we always tell family.

Like any responsible adult, your child should register with the state department before international travel and let someone know where they are going. It's not weird to ask.
