Because no matter how much he thinks he knows them, he doesn't. Online cam convos does not ensure he's with a responsible adult who is willing to take full responsiblity for this boy-And truth is, they shouldnt have too, and they probably wont. A boy of that age, even if NOT mentally disabled shouldnt go to a foreign country alone , with people he hasn't met in person. Way too young.
And yah, there's ALWAYS the possibility of kidnappings or worse. People who are disabled get taken advantage of big time in many ways.
Many good people in this world, but this boy needs supervisions (You never specified how much he is capable of understanding and doing on his own-Can he count change? understand foreign dollars? Understand schedules and maps? ) He should be with a capable adult who can supervise-For anyone, not just special needs individuals.
EDITED TO ADD; you keep Going in and out of "identity" You are either the person we are speaking of or you are not-make up your mind please.
There's nothing derogator about the word disabled, and it is interchangable term. You are arguing over semantics, as I couldnt possibly have known what problems you or "he" have.
The biggest problem I see with your term, is that yes, mentally challenged denotes a mental disability -an IQ score below average. The problems you name are more psychological disorders and behaviours. I would not have classified them in the same way. Again, it's all semantics, and what you were raised to prefer.
Now that you wrote all those disorders, can't you see it would be problematic and common sense not to let him go?
Who will be there to help him if he gets caught up in one of those disorders? A foreign country where medical assistance may be out of his range and everyone elses who are not of that country-It's dangerous. Maybe he should wait a few years until he knows he's in control over his behaviours with Skin picking, and his obessive compulsive bahevoiurs-If he can't yet control it all, he will probably have problems. If he were going away to a place within his own country i'd say it might be acceptable, b.c the way teh hospitals and laws and police work are the same..Japan, doesn't work the same way and they dont help the same way.

Going Japan all by yourself?? It's not a good idea. Are these Japanese the specialist and will be able to take all responsibility?These Japanese must have jobs or schools and 29 days...who will keep take care about you. If you do some wrong, you might be forced to go to mental hospital by law. It's too risky.

Whether you have mental problems or not, I wouldn't want my 15-year-old traveling alone to any part of the world. In this day and age, it's just not a safe thing to do. If a parent or guardian can travel and stay with you, fine, but it's really not a good idea for you to go alone.

I don't think any parent is going to let their child go and stay with people they don't really know, regardless if he has any mental challenges. I think however invited you was out of line in asking a 15 year old to come and stay with them, as most parents would immediately balk at the idea, most parents would balk at the idea if they KNEW the people and they weren't going there.

This is not funny. Sorry but noone should be going to see someone they met over the internet. Plenty of children are molested every day. Reported!

never. he could be a total psycho and he is so far away from home that if something went wrong how could you get there in time. even if he chats on cam with him everyday the guy could still be a creep
