After using her parents’ credit card to rent a house in which to throw a wild party, a Canadian 14-year-old is in major trouble — $20,000 worth, actually. That’s the amount of damage the teens caused, and which her parents must now pay.
Last week, police responded to a call that reported an “uncontrolled party” at a neighborhood home in West Vancouver, where nearly 200 teens were seen “flooding out” once officials arrived, according to CTV News. Left in their wake was a house with much destruction — to walls, furniture, and artwork, all of which her parents will be held accountable for.
According to the police report, the young girl responsible for the event had used her parents’ credit card without their permission. But the parents will still have to find a way to pay.

“That settles it Missy! You’re grounded for the entire weekend!”
Had that been MY daughter, she'd be giving bjs on Main Street to crackheads at 5$ a throw until she paid it off.
Surely you daughter would go for more than $5.
Virgins auction themselves off for $30k.
It’s illegal sure, but credit card orders are taken by phone, or online, all the time....hence, that’s how she got away with it.
My point was, just because it was illegal—the illegal behavior (fraud, in impersonating her mother, I suppose), and since it was their child—her parents are liable for the bill.
This is why real estate sales require a settlement—with lawyers and witnesses, and recording it all with the courthouse....
Rentals, don’t require all that, by law—and can be done...just with a credit card (in certain circumstances).
Well then they are responsible up to $50, per the terms of the CC agreement.
I agree her parents are “responsible” ; just not to the CC company.
The lawyer$ will win.
