As a parent, there's NO WAY I'd let my kids travel ANYWHERE by themselves until they are adults, let alone expect that responsibility be put on a corporation. That's just asking for trouble - too many things could go wrong and turn into such a stressful and scary environment!

Shame on those parents - for not only doing this to their kid, but for trying to point the finger at AC!
