12-year-old boy runs up a $1200 debt in FarmVille

A life lesson to everyone: Don't spend cash from your parents...without their permission.
Seriously, $1200 on FarmVille?

His mom reported her son to the police. His Facebook account is closed.

In my opinion, FarmVille is one of the worst games known.
No offence to those who like the game.

12 year-olds aren't even supposed to be on Facebook, then he gets into a $1200 debt. Can you spell S-P-A-N-K-I-N-G?

S-P-N-G-N-K-I-A
OT: How is that even possible? I've never played Farmvile before, but unless you're gambling or something, $1200 is way too much. He'll need to get at least two jobs if he ever wants to pay that off.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Scientists actually hosted a conference in WoW. Three of them wandered away and got eaten by hyenas or something.

Wow, FarmVille is a bunch of cow [removed], pardon my language.
Total copy of Farm Town, which was here first.
And, $1200? Didn't he think he had enough FarmCash back after he blew off his savings?

his parents are probably going to send him off to like five jobs next year when child labor laws are off the hook for him, or he will be sent off to a military academy.

The article says she didn't report her son to the police. It says that the only way to get her money back is to call the cops. It didn't say she's done that, though.
