So you give your CREDIT CARD details to a 12 YEAR OLD, allow him to play Call of Duty, not turn on parental controls and never check your bank statements for SIX MONTHS? How is blaming Microsoft going to get him anywhere? It was clearly the Dad's fault!

I noticed that kid in the article looked faniliar. It's a shame you had to dye your hair and get a perm.

What a pathetic excuse for parenting: Blaming others for your own ignorance.
