[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 483215, member: 1233"] You can get a ten buck tracfone that won't go online but can be used if he needs to call you. Not sure if you can block 900 numbers, but I think you can. But really, the other kids have them, so let him borrow one when he needs to call. Or he can ask an adult to call you. Those kinds of charges are outrageous. WHat is he going to do to pay them off? Have you considered having one of the cops come talk to him about what will happen if he does this on someone else's phone? it IS stealing, after all. They think that just because they are kids, or it is on the phone, that it isn't still stealing. It is, and the amts he has racked up may even push it to felony status in some areas. Holy Cow! In VA it is a felony if the item stolen is over two hundred dollars! They are starting pretty tough about this here, not sure about VA where you are. Maybe seeing that this could mean juvie, or if he was an adult, jail time, might make an impact? You just can't keep paying this off, or getting the companies to do it. [/QUOTE]
