... and we're not talkin' Ford Escorts here...
This is my double-you tee eff story for the day: Kid gets a copy of dad's credit card, and buys loads of stuff with it... including renting a motel room and hiring escorts. At no point does anyone question his purchases, until the kids specifically ask about hiring sex workers.
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 $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played "Halo" on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.

jordan, I like this story. It's good stuff.
Sound's like you might need to do some undercover work to find the answers to those burning questions.

If that's what it takes to bring crowd-powered news to the next level... then so be it!

If you're going to spend that kind of money, you should do what you really want to do: In a few years this kid will get a company credit card and take the girls out for a round of golf! =8^)
