Post : Amtrak to 12-year-olds: You Are Babies
Hi Readers! Were you planning to have your tween take the train to your ex's
this Thanksgiving? Too bad. Amtrak has just raised its unaccompanied minor age
from 8 to 13.

That's right. Five years of a child's development are gone -- poof! -- in the
blink of a bureaucratic eye. It's like lopping teens off at the knees and
saying now they're too small to go on the ride. As of Nov. 1, any traveler
younger than 13 must be accompanied by someone who is 18 or older. Why? Jeff
Snowden, Amtrak's senior director of service (so-called!) delivery, said, "This
is not in response to any incidents," but "out of an abundance of concern for
the comfort and safety of all our travelers."
