Oh for ****** sake!!! It ain't your family, it ain't your kid, it ain't your choice. Go, or don't go. If the kid gets popped its gonna happen whether you go or not.

If it makes you that uncomfortable why don't you just meet them at the destination using a different time schedule.

Politely just saying you will not go, and only elaborating if asked, is the class way to handle it.

Confrontation or reporting them to anyone.......................
That is being a RATFORK DOUCHEBAG!

Reporting them would be - but confronting them and asking if they really think it's such a good idea? I call that doing the right thing. It's a heck of a lot better than agonizing over not doing it after the kid kills himself. Well hopefully that won't happen.
