13 year old steals dad's credit card, buys hookers, halo.
Wow, he's off to a GOOD start! Let me guess, future GOP politician?

13 Year Old Steals Dad's Credit Card to Buy Hookers

"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."


The last line is what makes the article:

"Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician'

Let's see. Sex scandal, check. Credit card theft, check. Lying though his teeth, check. Sense of entitlement, check. Spending other people's money on hookers and games? Check.

The boy has a bright future in the Texas Republican Party.

23. Looks like that "abstinance-only education" is working!
Or, perhaps, like many Republicans, they are repressed homosexuals and the kid got the hookers as a cover!

:rofl:

I think every sentence in that article is solid gold. At every period, I think it couldn't get better, but it keeps getting better. Too good.

22. Hey, now, I like video games and hookers, although not in that order.
There's nothing wrong with working girls. After all, it's the world's oldest profession.
