beat your kids once in a while and shit like this wouldn't happen

A teenager who took his father's credit card and racked up almost £12,000 in a four-day spending spree yesterday blamed his privileged upbringing. Tom Smith, 17, said that as a child his parents had given him anything he wanted but, since entering adulthood, their generosity had waned. So when a request for new clothes was refused, he took his father's credit card while he was out jogging and embarked on an epic-spending spree. He claims that he first flew to Rome where, having checked into a £340-a-night hotel, he splurged £7,130 on clothes in Italian boutiques. His haul included a £544 Versace coat, a pair of Prada trousers costing £326 and three pairs of Dolce and Gabbana jeans totaling £870. To carry his new purchases, he bought a £1,632 Louis Vuitton suitcase and a £544 matching bag, which he later gave to his sister, Rebecca, 16. Bored with retail therapy, the former pupil of the £15,000-a-year St Edmund's College, Herts, paid £360 to hire a limousine to go sightseeing. Returning to Gatwick, he claims he hired another limousine, picked up three friends in London and went to Brighton to "see the sea". The teenager booked two £250-a-night rooms at a four-star hotel. His limousine bill for two days came to more than £1,900. He paid £860 for a Sony video camera to record his exploits before returning to face the music from his parents John and Megan, both 49, at their home in Victoria Park, east London, on Jan 30. Despite a dressing down and a police investigation, Tom Smith, who wants to be a fashion buyer, was unrepentant yesterday. "I am not sorry I spent the money because I have lots of lovely things. I have wanted some new clothes for a while." The teenager said his parents were furious with him. "My father said I was a 'little shit' and he has not spoken to me since. At first, he was really pissed off and I don't think he is talking to me at the moment. He just grunts into the newspaper when I try to talk to him." His father, a £100,000-a-year corporate surveyor, who claims that he reported the credit card stolen as soon as returned from his jogging run, refused to comment yesterday, as did Mrs. Smith. It is believed that MasterCard will consider taking legal action against Tom in order to recoup the cash.

This is a fine example of what happens when people don’t beat their kids enough. His “father” needs to grow a set of balls and show his little fey son the knuckle side of his fist. And if he doesn’t think he can do the job proper, then he needs to hire a couple of old school soccer hooligans to do it for em. And while they’re at it, have the little cock socket blow the entire lot. Then make the little cum coughing bastard get the most fucked up job possible and pay back every shittin cent with interest. And if he has the time have little Gary Glitter raped by the family dog.
