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.
Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a "World of Warcraft" tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.
The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played "Halo" on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.
Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician.
I love this part:

That's just funny.
LOL, that's funny! At least the hookers were decent enough not to try anything when they realized they were probably kids. As far as the kid wanting to be a politician, I say he's on a right start to become one!

thats the part that makes me laugh, must not get out much if all this is what he thinks should be done when wining a blooming game! rofl
Am very sad that kids stop their political scandals so late.
Me think this am most very serious thing to never happen, sorry for posting it!

That is the funniest thing in it.

I am amused not only by the idea of them reading this on some board, but also the implications of the WoW stereotype.
... These kids are awesome.
Oh, good, the alias worked.
I thought this was proven to be a fake news post. Can someone verify if it's true or not?
I mean... c'mon. It's a bit much.
I read it at first as "Dad steals 13 yr old's CC to buy hookers"
kinda disappointed
even if its real or not i still had a laugh reading it
Regardless of being a fake story or not...
Taking friends on a spending spree including an XBox 360, hookers, and a lot of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos - $30,000.
Seeing your dad's reaction to the credit card bill - priceless.
There are some things money can't buy.
It's kind of sad that it's that realistic that you have to wonder if it's true or not.
This sounds like the premise of an old 1980s/early '90s movie.
home alone, the later years?
This is awesome.
Awesome story, but too funny to be true. =( I'm sure anything can happen though, I've seen and read some crazy things.
