While Denmark has done a lot in preventing Danish teenagers from being sent back to their homeland just because they had adjusted too well to the Danish culture, other countries have sadly not learned about the danger yet.
In Denmark parents can be put in prison if the authorities discover that they are abroad where they should attend Danish schools as Danish citizens and hang out in the Friday bars in High Schools enjoying beer or wine with their classmates.
It is not the case with British or American born teenagers with foreign heritage. Now this lack of focus has cost a young American teenager his life in Puntland - Somalia.
He was strangled by attackers who entered the boarding school where he lived.
The United States are pushing for answers from the local authorities but they haven't got any so far.
Why they haven't taken action warning parents that they will be arrested if they ship citizens out of the country is hard to understand.
