The lack of accountability on the part of parents these days is sickening. Had the dad taken the 10 minutes it takes to read up on parental controls, or just simply NOT given his kid an active credit card, this whole situation could've been avoided.

Instead, now it will be the online marketplace's fault for not policing this idiot's child well enough.

Legally, this is the reason why you have to be 18 to get your own loan/credit card/debt.

If a 17 year old buys a car -- he can just return it willy nilly up until his 18th birthday as minors cannot be held accountable in court.

Which is why it falls on the parent to not give their child a credit card at 17.
