Remember how you used to get excited when your parents gave you a couple of bucks?
Felt good didn't it. Then they told you not to spend it all in one place. You felt like one of the richest kids on the block. So imagine how the imagination of one particular 13-year old felt when he decided to steal his dad's credit card and enjoy a night on the town. While most would probably act with some amount of common sense, Ralph Hardy chose to treat his friends to a $3,000 shopping spree consisting of junk food, tons of video games and two hookers to share in their big party event at a Texas motel.
Hardy's fun was naturally short-lived after a delivery clerk contacted authorities, shortly after dropping off from Fritos and other snacks for his pals and the hired escorts. He was charged with three years of community service, while the hookers were let go since they didn't actually do anything other than play Halo with the kids. Yeah, you read that right. Reportedly the hired escorts whose services run for $1000 a night became suspicious. Hardy told them that they just won a World of Warcraft tourney and wanted to kick back and relax. He also added that his group was part of a traveling circus and were of restricted growth. Seeing as the State law prohibits discrimination against the disabled, the escorts couldn't refuse them.
I hope Hardy enjoyed his day of festivities because his actions has surely scarred his reputation in more ways than one.
