Actually, I spent the last few weeks in the Netherlands, and there is a bit more to this than what the headlines say...the family unit here might be a contributing factor, because as I understand it the parents are recently divorced or are in the process of doing so....the authorities think that this might have played a role in the girl's decision, maybe as a coping mechanism....not exactly a good reason for a solo circumnnavigation! BTW, the decision is not final, there is another hearing in 2 months.
