A 13-year-old boy from Texas who stole his father's credit card and hired two prostitutes has been convicted of fraud. Newark teenager Ralph Hardy confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his dad's existing credit card company and taking his pals on a US$30,000 spending spree, which culminated in them playing "Halo" on an Xbox with the hookers in a Texas motel. The $1000-a-night prostitutes were released without charge but Ralph was given a three year community order upon his conviction on May 9, money.co.uk reported. The prostitutes told police they grew suspicious when the kids said they'd rather play Xbox than play with them. Authorities were alerted to the motel by a delivery clerk who, after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Oreos and Fritos, was asked by the kids where they could hire some escorts. They young lotharios explained they'd just won big at a "World of Warcraft" tournament and wanted to relax. The delivery clerk called the police who arrived to find $3,000 in cash, electronic gadgets, an Xbox console and games, plus the two prostitutes. Ralph reportedly told the oficers his dad wouldn't mind, because he'd turned 13 the previous week and he'd forgot to get him a present. Ralph and Co. told the working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus. They added that State law did not allow discrimination against the disabled so they had no right to refuse them. Explaining why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the done thing when you win a "World of Warcraft" contest. The prostitutes ended up playing "Halo" with the kids instead of having sex with them. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599...-23109,00.html
Disturbing that a child this young has already lost his innocence. I would guess that this as as much the father's fault as it is WoW's. That game will destroy you. That's what they made it for. This makes me really worried about my 13 year old brother.
I dont think it has anything to do with the loss of innocence... show me one 13 yr. old that is actually innocent nowadays... nigga please stop talkin out of ur ass and why would i get banned for posting a news article
I read that this morning and it cracked me up. It's a sad statement of today's youth that they'd rather play video games rather than get busy with some high-dollar call girls. Either way, it's better than the dad's promised visit to Disneyland. And what kind of jackass father forgets his kid's birthday, anyway?
This seems like it could be fake, I saw this on the WoW forums a little while ago and there were some interesting points raised....like how if the kid was in a hotel that had room service, they would have asked for ID. Or if he was smart enough to forge a credit card and get into the hotel, you'd think he'd know what to do with the hookers he hired.
I think there's one state in the US where it's legal. But what do I know? And yes, there are WoW tourneys. There's even MLG.
Lol, i love this article, i don't know why someone said you would get teh banstick for this, it's just natural comedy, too bad it's ilegit :-( i think every man here could understand what went thru there head, its just a matter of determining what's right, and what's wrong, most people realize that it would be a big mistake to do something like that, though, these kids, went all balls out, spent 30000 bucks, got 2 hookers, and played the crap outa xbox in a fancy hotel, they = badass's
