    Legally, the kid wasn’t old enough to contract the ads.

    It would not stand in court.

    I question using his work card to pay for some robucks for his kid.

    I question that his credit card was saved for Robucks, but was able to be used on Google Ads.

    I would not be surprised if he lost his job. I think that’s not unreasonable though the economy sucks.
