Couples Court: Is 16 Too Young to Go to Cancun for Spring Break?

Parents have all heard the stories about Spring Break -- the parties, the binge-drinking, the debauchery.

That's why the thought of a young daughter heading off to some exotic beach for a wild, weeklong getaway can give moms and dads nightmares.

And in today's Couples Court, it raises a question: How old should your daughter be before it's OK to even consider letting her go on a Spring Break trip with her friends?

Listen to the evidence and judge for yourself:

Dear Rik and Michele:

My 16-year-old daughter has been invited to go to Cancun for Spring Break. She and her friends would be traveling with two sorority girls. I trust my daughter and her friends, but not everyone else. My husband doesn't care what she does. Is 16 too young for Spring Break? My daughter is begging to go. Should I trust her judgment or not?

What do you say Bull Pen jurors? And how will Judge Mathews -- a mother herself -- rule?
