People To People Student Ambasador Should leaders know what is going on with P2P especially when it involves a child dying? Spokane Washington

My Son is so excited to go on his trip with people to people, that I don't know how to tell him that he is not going.

After finding out 2 days ago that a child lost his life on one of the trips, my wife and I decided not to let him go. One of the deciding factors was when we asked our delegate leaders, there responses were 'We have never heard of such a thing' and reassured us that the number one concern is saftey and my son will be fine.

What bothers me is this: How can you be affiliated with a program and not know that a death occured on a P2P trip. Mabey Im just WEIRD......but shouldn't leaders know about this? They sure are informative at there meetings. To me that is a major detail.

Any how I called P2P asked about a refund and the gal said yes I can have a refund, They are going to keep $500.00 of my money I am kind of pi**ed but on the other hand it is a small price to pay for my sons safety. Like I said mabey Im just being weird!

I've never been to Washington D.C I have heard that it is educational I think Ill take the family there. ~Peace Over Protective Parent~

P.s I still don't know what they did for my son that warrants them to keep $500.00 hummmm
