Dude, let’s go for a ride – 3 Florida kids fly to Nashville; bought tickets with baby-sitting money
Daring? Yes! Scary? Without a Doubt. Is it Cool? Way cool – if you are a kid and not so cool if you are a parent. The good news is the kids called home when they arrived in TN immediately flew back. I’m positive either or a combination of this happened in those two households after the incident – someone had a curfew imposed or lost access to TV/mobile phone/video games for a month.
Fifteen-year-old Bridget Brown had $700 saved and asked a 13-year-old friend where he wanted to go.
The friend, Bobby Nolan III, suggested Nashville.
Together with Brown’s 11-year-old brother, the three took a taxicab to Jacksonville International Airport and bought three tickets at the counter. The children say no one asked them for identification.
