I agree, the cops with probably just say that she is the legal guardian and should have payed more attention to him, but why would a huge bank corporation give a minor different bank account numbers?

Did you read the article Larry? Of course the son is primarily at fault, but when banks refuse to do anything about the situation even though the mother of the minor child requests it they take on liability themselves.

Yes - Of course I read the article. I still expressed my opinion. And I stand by it.

Looks like another movie sell for Hollywood, will buy the story from the son and the mother.

If even half the allegations in that story about how the banks handled her repeated warnings are true, they're as complicit as the son.

Anyway, that's 6000 Australian dollars per day--not worth what they once were, but a pretty good haul for a teen!

And guess who pays in the end? All those ebay buyers were probably protected and what did ebay do? All legit buyers and holders of credit accounts end up paying for what the lenders should have been responsible for after they were informed what was happening. The kid is the criminal followed by the credit issuers a close second. |

Well, it's my turn to stir the pot:  Australian dollar is way down from its highs versus the USD. Not that I'd mind having a few thousand per day.... |

You should be turning that graph upside down. Australia is way up from its lows versus the USD. And I agree, I'd like a few thousand. It would go on coins, not penthouses.

I don't claim to know much about US law, let alone Australian law, but it seems to me that the "...friend over the age of 18 who claimed to be his guardian..." has a lot of liability for at least any fraud committed using the first account.
I helped my 17 year old open an account (US) and was not only told that I had to sign for it as co-owner and primary responsible person but also HAD to get a debit card in my name on the account if I wanted her to have one in her name.
As for the mother's case it is not clear to me what damages she suffered from reading the article beyond the stress caused by having a bad son.
