'Lyrical Lemomade Summer Smash'

[danicohn]

Right into this,

My DD 16 has been wanting to go with friends to Chicago for this festival (we are a very well off family, along with her mates and she has been working herself so the money is not a problem), they want to see members only and ski mask (rappers I think), however I'm not certain about the Chicago area and the crime ect. Would anyone have a problem with it if they were in my situation?

Would she be traveling with her friends ? Where would they stay ?

Hi, sorry I should have added they'll be travelling on the same plane and in the tent section, however they are planning on leaving festival grounds when some acts they dislike are on.

I think you’ll just have to hope for the best that they will be sensible and not do anything daft.

See that's the thing, I can probably trust Dd but not the majority of friends who'll do dumb shit

Well good luck with it anyway

I would never let my 16 year old go that far without me.

Are you in the UK ?

No, my 16 yr old wouldn't be going to a festival in the states.
Quite frankly, I@d have qualms about a lot of festivals here.

16? Festival in the US? I wouldn’t

Sorry, WiFi went out and lost phone charge!

So the answer is probably a no I'm guessing, we are in the uk.

Not a chance.

Thing is, she has been to places like Germany on her own with friends, so I personally cannot see the problem.,

Lol if you can’t see a problem why are you asking here? I wouldn’t be happy with my very sensible dd doing this.

Because I wanted to see the general opinion? It's pretty obvious really that that's my intention...

Yes I’d have a problem. She wouldn’t be going.

Jesus, I'm wrangling over letting my DD16 go to the Reading festival.

No bloody way would I let a bunch of 16 year olds travel to a rap festival in Chicago! Are you quite insane?

Nope. Not at 16 in a different country.

I'm worried about my DD17 going to Reading festival in August and we live about 25 miles away! Cant imagine allowing a 16 year old to travel to Chicago for a festival.

Dani your mum has said no for a good reason. MN agreed with her so don't think you can prove she's being unreasonable. Try Leeds or Reading.

Titchy

I think Dani may have posted before about coachella... This sounds very familiar. 16y old with very rich family allowed to go alone to festival in USA.

Not s chance I would let mine go, gun crime is huge, stats are bigger than LA l and NYC combined (2016 report)

Also you ave parental responsibility where does this finish - at the airport how would you address a problem if you in the uk and she is at a festival

@MarvinMarvinson Mentioning Coachella, she tried to get into that but 1 grand for a ticket and then everything else is overkill.
