Something about this story does not add up.  How did the parents not notice all the charges on their credit cards?  20,000 GBP is a lot and spread over a few months, they had time to see the bills and take corrective action.  Similarly, his parents must be unbelievably wealthy to have a 60000 GPB credit line on their credit card for the kid to use that much in only a week.  Most cards max out much lower than that, and have even lower limits for cash advances which is what you'd need to use for something like gambling.

I'm thinking this story was not too seriously fact checked.

I thought of that as well but this article seems to give lessons about “The need of guidance for a child”, or even any person around you. With this generation, many parents are too busy enough outside that they forget people around them.
