Internet long distance phone charges

[[email protected]]

Am I responsible for long distance phone charges to a internet gambling site that my 15 year old son entered on aol that had a disclaimer that you must me an adult and that long distance phone charges will apply? We have received no help from the long distance company.

MY 15-YEAR OLD SON, WHO LOOKS OLDER, JUST SIGNED A CONTRACT TO PURCHASE A COMPUTER. IS THE CONTRACT VALID?
No, the contract is not valid. As your son is a minor (under age of 18), he is not old enough to enter into a legally binding contract without parental consent except for "necessities" . The computer is not a necessity. The store will have to refund the payment he made, regardless of their return policy, when he returns the computer.
