I wonder how they thought this would go down. Were they just hoping that their mum wouldn’t notice a $200 charge? Were they going to say, “oh, can’t get refunds, guess I’ll pay you back over time” (ask for forgiveness instead of permission, basically)? What was the end game?
I was once a dumb kid. My thought process at the time was that may parents simply wouldn’t notice the transaction on the account because they rarely checked.
Thankfully, I didn’t go through with it, but knowing what I know now, they definitely would have noticed a strange transaction, even for a small dollar amount.
It wasn’t even because I had no money - I was being paid an allowance and could typically afford the things I wanted to buy. I just wanted to buy stuff online and I didn’t have a bank account or debit/credit card to process the transaction.

I’m going to assume a certain level of mental immaturity. Either still a child or in a child-like mental state.
