Yes it will be called "The Price You Pay"
 
The pic that is posted here is misleading (and it was posted on a local news site as well) but now a local news station in Houston has posted a recent pic, holy crap! Fugly doesn't even come close to describing it.
 
[citation][nom]ewood[/nom]not if you dont buy it and smoke it in that country you cant... she didnt bring the kid back with her.[/citation]


First, she did take the kid with her. They were spotted at a FUTURE SHOP. Future shop is the Canadian equivalent of Best Buy (and owned by them as well). Since the store ONLY exist in Canada, there is no way that they could have been spotted at one in the US, so she MUST have taken, or enticed the boy to go to Canada with her. The Canadian govt only said that since it was not illegal in Canada (since 16 is age of consent), that they would not press further charges. Had the boy been 15, she would probably have been charged in both the US and Canada since they were in both countries.

The way the story reads, it says she was arrested on (during) the flight back home, which means she must have still been within the US since it would otherwise require extradition by the Canadian govt.

And as for my last sentence, I was implying that if you bought it in that country, not if you just traveled. If that were the case, people would be getting arrested all the time for something they did in other countries.

NO. He is a 16-year old CHILD.

I know people dont think sexual abuse is as serious with boys... but this woman is still taking advantage of his innocence and manipulated him. This is wrong, not funny.
 
Yikes! Well I'm glad his parents were smart enough to know that this was an unhealthy relationship for their son. I think it sucks for the woman that the kid lied to her about being 20 (legal age) and she gets thrown in jail while the kid receives no punishment. Although I'm sure the kid will be grounded from WoW permanently, or at least until he moves out. Either way I'm still glad she got thrown in jail. 42-year old woman preying is what it really sounds like to me. I don't think this even falls into the cougar-pup category...
 
^-1. More information is needed, but I see where he manipulated her by lying about his age, but nothing that makes clear that she manipulated him. I certainly don't wish to imply that she acted reasonably, or that the situation isn't really unfortunate, but I don't yet see where a crime was commited.
 
So Freud was right...about the Oedipus complex anyway. It would appear that the young lad has found his Big Mommy substitute...and this one he can even have sex with. Perversion at both ends of this one.
 
Guys she is being arrested for the sexual conversations she had with him. Not the act that took place in Canada. I agree with deadlockedworld. This kind of stuff is straight nasty. If it was a 40 year old guy and a 16 year old girl, everybody would cry foul.
 
It appears from the article that he lied to the police about his age when they caught up to them at the Future Shop... it doesn't imply that he told her he was 20. Not really sure on that part.
 
I THINK THIS IS JUST GREAT!!!!!
MY LITTLE BROTHER GOES TO SCHOOL WITH THIS KID!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
GOD I LOVE LIVING IN BARRIE, IT NEVER GETS DULL!

side note....when I was 16 or 17 this same thing happened to my best friend when he was addicted to playing an mmorpg called T4C (the forth coming). I remember the woman was from the states and was just over 40 (big fat ugly woman to boot). they never went as far as to meet, but i remember how mad he got when his dad read his msn conversations with her and told him he was to never talk to her again cuz she was messed up lol.

Gotta love small cities!
 
WOW!!! 16 year old kid had a 40 year old woman fly from Texas to Canada for sex... I wonder how all the other boys in his class are going to top that!!!

Also, i'm wondering how many new WoW accounts are being created!!!
 
Cougar's abusing their knowledge of sexuality on young virgins, sure they'll snatch them for a while. If I was the boy I'd get along with it and learn for a year or two.
But such a relationship is not meant to last!
She could have been his mother.
 
If you are Canadian and do a crime outside of Canada you can be judge back home even if it was legal back there especially "sexual crime".

Nope, inital arrest was for transporting a minor across state lines without permission, either expressed or written, from the custodial parent or guardian. Which is a felony. Sex conversations, lewd acts(outside of actual sexual contact) are usually considered misdemeanor and typically will not warrant pursuit of an interstate type of arrest.

Everything else (weither or not they boinked, sex chats) is actually circumstanial and would require further investigative work in order to make a timely arrest and are not grounds for issuing warrants without further evidence. While it may be used to futher the initial investigation it actually is just considered "hear say" which most times is not considered admisable in court most of the time. Read up on the big debate over "Sexting" for futher info. Kinda ties in with the whole proving someone actually downloaded illegal music just because it was on their PC debacle. For example, I am a police officer, I set up a chat room conversation and represent myself as a teenage girl looking for sex with an older man. Just because I get responses and what not doesn't actually give me grounds for arresting someone in most states unless they send certain explicit media to said minor, it is the person actually showing up at what ever location to meet the "teenage girl" that gives me grounds to arrest because at that point I have witnessed a felony in progress or someone seeking to solicitate a minor.

Just my $.02
 
[citation][nom]Computer_Lots[/nom]While gross, it shouldn't be illegal.[/citation]

Go to Cambodia to have sex with an 8 year old boy and see if the feds are waiting for you when you get back. I'm pretty sure there's some law that states that crimes against children (I realize the term "children" is debatable in this instance) are just that... crimes... irregardless of geographic borders. I think the intent is to protect children in places where they are not protected by punishing the predators. It's a gray area... a 42 year old woman had no business going after a 16 year old... no long-term good is gonna come of that for the boy.

the kid was not moved anywhere!!!!! it takes 5 min to drive across Barrie, its not a big city maybe 150k ppl. so the lady was NOT arrested for that. she IS being arrested for luring a minor back in either the US (dont care if they are state or federal charges, but it sounds to me like she is facing state charges since the age of consent is higher then 16 in Texas...
 
"Kane's parents were aware of some of his activities on the internet, including his addiction to World of Warcraft. Kane supposedly played the game "every waking hour," and rarely attended school because of the addiction. Kane's mother also found an MSN Messenger chat log between her son and Price where they engaged in overt sexual discussions and talked about meeting face to face."
This kid still had access to a computer and the internet? What the hell is wrong with his parents. Rarely attended school because he was playing WoW?!?!?!? Geeze. If you can't be bothered to be a parent, don't complain when you kid does some hair-brained crap like this.
 
Granted the parents showed some reasonable judgement in not allowing him to see her, but...

One thing that really bothers me with this article: "Kane supposedly played the game "every waking hour," and rarely attended school because of the addiction."

So his parents let him stay home from school to play WoW? He's 16, that puts him in either Grade 10 or 11, I know some pretty hardcore WoW players but they at the very least go to work/school at a minimum.

I could only imaging the repercussions if I would have told my parents "no I'm going to stay home, I'd rather play video games than go to school" Pretty sure my computer would have been in pieces within minutes, possibly burning in a fire pit out back...
