Yes, and there is a lot of brain research out there that indicates that the decision making process in teenagers is very different from adults, in that teenagers do not factor in the consequences of their decisions anywhere near the degree adults do....any parent of a teenager can probably attest to that! This holds up even for those teenagers deemed to be "more mature". I am glad that it looks like this is ending well (though she is still out there in the middle of the ocean), but it hopefully should put a damper on the plans of 13 and 14 year olds with similar ideas (but considering the above, that has to come from the adults surrounding them!).
