One TV comment was " it was a MIRACLE he didn't just disappear!"

His m other has taken his passport away and has him grounded for a while.

I just hope what he writes up is as cool as the initial stunt.

And kids can do this stuff. I was pretty defiant of authority in East Berlin when I was 14. My getting there was easier than for this kid because as a Pan Am kid I was well used to international air travel on my own and did not have to use money to do it. I think East Berlin was less hazardous that Iraq, even though I was doing stuff regarded as illegal by the East Germans and Soviets.

Point remains, teen age is a good age to do this stuff. Bully for him.
