I think the real issue here is not the kids doing the hacking but the parents who know what they’re doing and let them continue - even help them bank their earning in some instances. That makes the parents just as responsible in my opinion.
We’ve all taken stupid risks as kids. I’d done my fair share of hacking too when I was younger. But I tread a very fine line because I knew my parents would have gone mental if I was caught. Just as I would if I found out my kids were doing something reckless and illegal. So to endorse such behaviour in their own children really doesn’t cast them in a good light.
Sorry if this sounds high and mighty. I know comments about parenting often can sound “holier than thou”, but the parents in that article have crossed the line by in my personal opinion.
