You can say I wouldn't get compensation, I say I would. I think I've learned a thing or two about how to get what I want from an agent.
I"ll rephrase my comment then........I've never seen a parent not be able to sit next to their child when they so requested in my career. Child by definition is 17 and under. I've seen families that have no issues with a 16 or 17 year old sitting alone and it's happened but I'm saying if they requested it, it was rectified.
