13 year old steals dads credit card to buy hookers.
http://www.money.co.uk/article/10003...m?article=true
A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad's credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.
Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.
The credit card company involved said it was regular practice to send extra credit cards out as long as all security questions are answered.
The escort girls who were released without charge, told the arresting officers something was up when the kids said they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.
Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a "World of Warcraft" tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.
When police arrived at the motel they found $3,000 in cash, numerous electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console with numerous games, and the two local escort girls.
Ralph had reportedly told police that his father wouldn't mind, as it was his birthday last week and he had forgot to get him a present. The father, a lawyer said he had been too busy, but would take him on a surprise trip to Disneyland instead.

At first I laughed, and thought of the kid as awesome.

And then he merely comes up with this shit??!
Definitely an MMORPG player.

What a nerd. Haha. Well, Halo is pretty cool, so I guess that's OK.

Oh god. Did anyone read the rest of the article?
At the end it says: "Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician."
I should be suprised......but i'm not...

Sounds a bit crazy, but seriously, its so easy to end up on a $30,000 spending spree playing Halo3 in a motel room with hookers. We have all been there sure.

The newest searches into this report it as a hoax. None of the local authorities have heard a single thing about this, even after checking around.

I believe you owe us an introduction thread. Though looking at your already posted profile info I am starting to know what it is like to feel old since I remember playing Oregon trail on an old macintosh computer back in 1995.

As soon as I read the topic, all I could think was "That kid won at life".

I didn't know you could use a credit card to buy hookers.
Do you just stick it in the slot, or...?

Theres a fundemental error in that though.
How would he have known where to get the 'Hookers', pay for them and all, without realising what their purpose was?

Because hookers advertise themselves by different names, and not all 13 year olds know exactly what an escort is.

Also in the media...yes I've said it! "The Media".
Kid watches a film (which he shouldn't be watching because hes underage, come on we know it happens, oh wells, what are you gonna do?) hears/sees about prostitutes bla bla bla, kid thinks it would be funny to higher some escorts hes heard about. Kid doesnt exactly know what to do once he has said escorts. Kid would rather play Xbox. Escorts are like "Erm ...?"
What I want to know is why these escorts failed to noticed that the kids were blatantly underage and should have said no to them.
IMO they were very bad escorts..BAD!
*nod*
