Parents of any child over 11 have the option to pay the unaccompanied minor fee and have the child supervised. When the parent waives that, the parent is basically saying their child is ok to be out in the big world alone. Consider it like buying insurance, you may not need it, but is sure it worth it when/if something goes wrong with the flight. This is a parent choice, not an airline responsibility.
