I agree. If you really don't feel right about it. Ask if they have a parent. In
case, I have a son that is 17 and has his own bookshelf. He wanted a book that
someone was offering and she did not feel right about giving it to him. After
reading the book she said she wouldn't feel right letting her neice read the
book. So she pm'ed me and told me the story and said she would send another
book that she thought that he would like instead.
I told her that it was alright with me just explain it to my son. Everything
worked out.It's nice to know someone else is looking out too :)

Hi Jocelyn,
why not ask the young person if their parent is a book crosser and if so, would
they mind if you PM'ed them to check it was OK.
If the parent approves, then there isn't a problem.

Subject: [BookCrossing] Sending Books to Minors
Hi all -
How do you all feel about sending books out to minors? On two occasions
now I've gotten book requests from pre-teens. They've been for Judy
Blume books which while written for that age group are still a bit
controversial among parents. The first one I denied, and I probably
will deny this second one too... I just have to wonder if leaving the
books on a park bench somewhere is any better. I feel like a grouch for
saying no. I just don't want to have any parents mad at me!
