[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beyond frustrated! My 19 yo son is traveling for an internship and I am about to lost my mind over trying to find him a safe hotel to sleep in while on his 16 hour (2 day) car trip to the internship site. WTF he is 19, responsible, literally traveling for work and he can’t check in to a hotel to sleep for the night before driving a second full day? What do hotels want him to do - sleep in his car in some random parking lot or rest stop (which many also have laws against sleeping at???)[b] Do they just want him on the roads for 16 hrs straight fatigued and dangerous??[/b] I have called, told them I will sign waivers as a parent but no luck?? I am flabbergasted. WTH. You can apparently die for your country at 19 but you can’t sleep in a hotel???[/quote]

NP. Look, they are not making this decision at you. It's a business decision as to what they will and will not accept responsibility for -- but they have never been charged with some kind of global responsibility to offer safe passage for all travelers and make sure people aren't on the road, not any moreso for someone who is a minor than someone who had been drinking ("Do they just want someone who is wasted on the roads driving drunk?? Don't they have to let someone in, in that case??") That isn't their job. They don't "want" anything at all for or about your son. He's not their responsibility, not unless an adult of majority is with him. You just need to make a different plan. [/quote]
