A 12-year-old Australian boy, known only as 'Drew', has since returned from an illicit trip to Bali, Indonesia. 
The boy managed to book a flight out of Australia, apparently as an act of vengeance against his parents. 

Mashable reports that Drew researched which airlines would let him fly without adult supervision, then tricked his grandmother into giving him his passport. 

On the morning of the flight, Drew left for school as he normally would, except this time he took a train to the airport. 

Drew says that he booked the flight because he "wanted to go on an adventure".

Drew's mother described the shock and outrage the family experienced when they found out what Drew had done, adding that Drew ran away because "he just doesn't like the word 'no'".
