In August 2009 a 14-year old girl Laura Dekker has been sailing for seven years and has already sailed solo across the North Sea. She was planning on soon msetting of on a journey to try and become the youngest solo sailor to circumnavigate the globe. She was first stopped by the Utrecht court because they were concerned about her safety. Her mother had thought that it was unsafe from the begaining and had been aposed to it. Laura lives with her father though, who supports the idea.  Laura thinks that she is completely capable of making the journey at her age and with the knoledge she has now. She says that soon after she is aloud to she will set off on her voyage. Laura will still be able to make the record but she says she is really just doing it for her love of sailing.  The court thought that Laura was defenitly emotionally ready for the trip, but they didn’t think there were enough safety precausions and they wanted her to be able to continue her schooling. They did not question her skills at all though.  On Friday 30th the Dutch court decided that she was not experienced enough to start the journey at the moment. Until July Laura will be under the guardianship of child protection authorities. She will still continue to live with her father though as long as her activities are kept track of. ====== This article adolescents because Laura’s abilities are being judged based on her youth. This ruling would not have even happened if she was not an adolecent because that was the reason for her court case in the beginning. I think that is Laura felt like she was ready to make the jurney then she should have been aloud to. I feel that a decition like this should be up to her and her familly no a court. <span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #333333; display: block; font: 10px verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; letter-spacing: 1px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; webkitborderhorizontalspacing: 0px; webkitborderhorizontalspacing: 2px; webkitborderverticalspacing: 0px; webkitborderverticalspacing: 2px; webkittextdecorationsineffect: none; webkittextdecorationsineffect: none; webkittextsizeadjust: auto; webkittextsizeadjust: auto; webkittextstrokewidth: 0px; webkittextstrokewidth: 0px; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Corder, M.
