I don't entirely disagree but really, in the context of a fairly trivial matter for anyone who isn't the person in question, what's the difference?
For example, I found a 20 euro bill on the ground at the ATM the other day. It makes no difference to you whether that's true - it only makes a difference to me and the person that lost the bill. At best it serves as a cautionary tale to those that don't pay attention to their money at the ATM.
If the story is plausible (that is, possible and not unlikely) and isn't particularly exceptional (such as, "click here to find out about obama's secret slave trading circle"), what's the difference?
That is, what is the concrete difference, to you and anyone commenting here, whether that child really did that or not? It's not unlikely enough that it would not occur. And we've seen a lot of very real stories about children stealing credit cards to spend hundreds or thousands on mobile games. And if you don't believe those either I can give you a personal account: When I was a kid I repeatedly broke the parental phone lock to call expensive numbers on the TV.
This is an iteration of the same thing.
