Re: Credit cards
Your actions violate both Federal and State criminal statutes, as well as subjecting you to civil liability for conversion. Moreover, you have breached your sacred trust as a parent.
Depending on the prosecution's status and attitude, and your prior criminal records, penalties could involve fines as well as potential incarceration.
