For what it's worth, my initial post above was trying to make the point that an unaccompanied minor doesn't HAVE an accompanying adult. Then I read delta's UM policy on their website, and presented my findings with an edit of my post (which is what you quoted, after said edit.)

Fairly low risk, it was out and back with long layover and not much else they could assign me to after departing base. But I was prepared to call the company and tell them they either needed to get my kid on my flight or I would have to stay until I could get her out. Having bought a revenue ticket would have hopefully mitigated the pain of that conversation.
