A child got angry at his parents, stole their credit card, and flew to Bali

Published by Business Insider on Tue, 24 Apr 2018


12-year-old Australian boy Drew decided to fly to Bali alone after getting into an argument with his parents. The boy stole his parents' credit card, booked himself a flight and hotel room, and scootered to the airport.His "shocked" and "disgusted" mother flew to Indonesia to collect him, though he doesn't seem to have any regretsOne 12-year-old Australian kid ran away from home in a manner our collective prepubescent selves would've deemed legendary: He stole his parents' credit card, jumped on his Razor scooter, and jetted away to Bali for a solo vacation.The boy, who was given the pseudonym Drew' by Australian TV news show"A Current Affair," decided to flee the country after getting into an argument with his parents. According to The Guardian, Drew researched "an airline that allowed 12-year-olds to fly unaccompanied" and used his parents' credit card to book himself a flight and a hotel room. He then told his family he was off to school, but instead rode "his razor scooter to his local train station" where he used self-service check-in to avoid suspicion. Two flights later, Drew was kicking back at Bali's All Seasons hotel.The boy's parents located him after his school reported him missing. Discovering he was in Bali, his mother, Emma, jumped on a flight to bring him home. She told "A Current Affair" her son doesn't like hearing the word "no." She added she was "shocked, disgusted, there's no emotion to feel what we felt when we found he left overseas."Though it is unclear how the 12-year-old will work off the credit card debt he amassed. (grounded until adulthood, probably'), Drew has no regrets. "It was great because I wanted to go on an adventure," he told "A Current Affair."Sign up here to get INSIDER's favorite stories straight to your inbox.Join the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: A neuroscientist explains why reality may just be a hallucination
