[QUOTE="Andy, post: 177685, member: 5096"] As I was reading, I was trying to figure out how old your difficult child was - by his actions, I was guessing 15 - 17. Was I ever surprised that this is a 13 yr old! I would call the credit card company and tell them that you did not authorize those charges. The companies that allowed a 13 yr old to use the card can eat those charges. If they don't have anything in place to make sure the person is an adult then they can take the loss. Then have the current numbers cancelled and new numbers issued. When you go places, you should be able to declare that NOTHING gets charged to your account unless you or husband makes the charge in person. Your difficult child has started a bad habit of spending that will get you into financial trouble. His behavior of paying for everything for his friends is putting him into a more vulnerable position for drug using friends. Of course they are going to treat him nice and soon they will be asking for cash to purchase their drugs. I would cancel all the computer games (even if you can not get your money back) difficult child should not have access to what you didn't give him permission to purchase. Does your difficult child have a MySpace or Facebook account? Is there a way to block access on the home computers to that? Those are very bad for young teenagers to get involved in. Very dangerous. I feel that your difficult child would get into a lot of icky stuff through those. [/QUOTE]
