Look, you might be a fantastic parent who goofed up in this one area. He might be a phenomenal kid who saw an opening. The key is to not only punish his mistakes but to realize what part we played in the situation. That is how we learn to parent better and that is how they learn to avoid repeating mistakes.

So are you trying to say someone LET HIM STEAL THE GAME?

Not exactly. I am saying there is lax or inconsistent parenting if the child not only 'stole' a game he was not allowed to play but also had unfettered access to the internet and stored credit card info. There might be a pattern here but it involves more than just the kid.

These are types of issues you hear about for a 13-15 year old. Not at 11.
