B&C Kid of the Week

A 13 year old from Texas, who stole his Dad's credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.

Ralph Hardy 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 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.

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.

Hey motel clerk: BUZZKILL much? Jesus, they weren't hurting you!! Not only did they win a WoW tournament, not only did they hire hookers, but they came up with a completely plausible traveling-circus backstory. These kids are brilliant!

So full disclosure: the story is apparently fake. But I loved it so much I had to post it. It came out of the UK or something. Which is why I love the UK.
