Can a Minor travel with an adult different than the one on the visa annotation?

[Marthap]

My 14 years old cousin was supposed to travel to the USA with my sister. She has a valid visa for six months. On her visa, she had the following annotation: Traveling with Cousin Jane Doe, Seattle, WA.

The problem is, my sister is not able to travel anymore, and we are deeply concern about my little cousin. Will she be able to travel with a different adult than the one on her visa annotation? Or can we ask the embassy to change this annotation? We were thinking to send my mom, who also has a visa with her, tickets are already bought, so they will travel to the same destination and for the same stay.

Please advice, what can we do?

Thank you,

Martha

The minor can travel with another adult as long as the parent provide a notarized form giving the adult the right to travel with him or her.
