As you may or may not know, I'm looking into participating on a international mission trip to Nicaragua for 15 days this summer. Aparently, theres an international law governing leaving a country under the age of 16.
Well, that poses a problem, as I'll only be about 15 3/4 at the time. Now, when my mom explained this to me (in the "reasons you can't visit iago" conversation), she said I can't leave without my parent(s). However, they're not lawyers, so I don't know if they're right.
Does this law exist at all? What is the exact text of this law? And most importantly, would a pastor count as a "guardian", allowing me to go? =)
I left the country by myself when I was 10 years old, so I am fairly sure they are lying. However, that could be a Nicaraguan law.
International Law? What is that? If such a thing exists I don't know if it is enforceable.

Hm, alright. It wouldn't be Nicaraguan, because it was brought up when I wanted to go to Canada. Thanks though =)

Again, I don't know much about this, and I'm obviously not a lawyer (but I hear your a judge!). From the look of this, it doesn't exist, and I can go.
