A debate in the UK has arisen about whether teenagers should be able to travel without parental supervision.

Location, Location, Location presenter Kirstie Allsopp is speaking out about feeling "sick" and "profoundly shocked", when social services contacted her about allowing her 15-year-old son to travel with a friend in Europe.

Officials says the safety of children is their "absolute priority".

UK Correspondent Enda Brady told Mike Hosking that Allsopp believes the complaint was made maliciously by someone who doesn’t like her.
