This Kid Has a Bright Future Ahead of Him

Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father’s existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing “Halo” on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.
One of the best parts of this story,? (and there are many)
Ralph’s ambition is to one day become a politician
Oh I think he’s well on his way already. The question is, is this story true?

UPDATE: Looks like it was not true. Thanks to FzxGkJssFrk in the comments.

I don’t think it’s true - the only source I can find for this story is in money.uk, and this part:
“They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.”
that makes NO sense - prostitution is illegal, so they would already be breaking the law, but breaking DISCRIMINATION laws (especially when doing so risks getting them STATUTORY RAPE charges, too?) is too much for them? Yeah, whatever.
Now, in Europe, this sort of thing is likely to work - legal prostitution, psychotic “anti-discrimination” laws… I think it’s a hoax.
From what I read the boys didn’t actually do anything with the prostitutes, so…
Oh, it may be a hoax but from my perspective as the parent of non-felon teenagers, the line about being persons of restricted growth working for a circus and they can’t refuse them sound *just* like something a smarty-pants kid would come up with.
Yeah, I think it might be a hoax, but to play devils advocate, while these excuses used are quite absurd, these are 13 year old kids, not the most logical people around.
Yup, it’s a fake. Thanks for the link, and keep your eyes open.
