Legal Question in Consumer Law in Illinois

Re: Minor purchasing non-refundable tickets

I think if you report the card as stolen -- in this case by your daughter -- you might have a limit of liability, perhaps to $50. There may be timing requirements for reporting it, however. You can prob. find out the particulars by conducting onlines searches.

Also, the contract entered into by minors are generally voidable. Here, of course, the issue is that your daughter was impersonating you.

Separately, how do you punish a kid like that? Does what is seemingly a nice thing and, whalla, you're stuck with a $6K tab. Yikes.
