This is kinda like the time when that family (mom, dad, and a 6 month old) went out to sail the Atlantic and Murphy's Law struck in every which possible way. Even their satellite phone went out because the operating company went and switched SIM Chip brands without notifying anyone in advance.
And when the public at large found out about it, they went apeshit, not realizing that there's a whole subset of people around the world (albeit they're a small percentage, but they're out there) who actually thrive, living and even raising children while sailing around the world. The fact that this came to light was simply something that went wrong in the worst possible ways - including the publicity angle.
People don't seem to realize that there are lifestyles that are not within what we consider the norm, but it's okay because there's no real harm in it. Some of these lifestyles do carry risk factors we never have to face - some of them the likes of which most cannot even imagine - but more often than not the people that lives these lifestyles are trained and certified to handle those risks.
So a cute little critter wants to go all Sinéad O'Conner? More power to the tyke, I say, and kudos to her mom for going through with it.
