Warning: WHT Member G-RaZoR
I have had G-RaZoR on my staff for several months now creating a network of games, movies, and more. He bought some domains for me and I was going to pay him back for them. We recently had a fight and he recieved an offer on the domains and now hes not selling them to me. I was arguing on our forums and 5 minutes later hes goes and deletes the entire forum directory. I'm in the process of forwarding any logs that my webhost may have to get his isp shutoff. I would like help trying to find out his home phone so I may phone his mother and father of his activities. I will be contacting him shortly about what he has done, but as for now I am deeply pissed off.

How old is he? Based on the fact that you want to speak with his parents, I'm guessing he is quite young.
Unfortunately, this is one of the inherent dangers of dealing with someone still in diapers. You never know when they're going to go "adolescent" on you and your business.
(I know, I know, not all young people are irresponsible, but the ratio is certainly much higher...)
Sorry to hear your troubles, Kerry. Hopefully you will be able to gain access to some backups. I'd be surprised if your host didn't have any.

I will defiantly listen to the back of my brain when I get that feeling about something. I realized that when something negative is being focused on me or talked about me it feels like the back of my head is bulging in some way. I guess maybe its a sign of upcoming trouble.
Hes currently 15 as I recall.Kerry Jones0

Yes, trust your gut. More often than not, it gets you out of the path of oncoming trouble/disaster/grief.

Why did you let him buy them? Why didn't you buy them yourself and avoid all these problems?

Why would they laugh, Carp? Do they not feel (even partially) responsible for their children's actions?

I know parents can have a affect on the teenager because what he did could cause a lawsuit and were in the process of becoming incorporated under that name and he was saying there is labor laws that make it illegal for him to work for free blah, blah, etc. When I have mentioned numerous times that this is voluntary until we begin generating a decent amount of revenue.Kerry Jones0

Well, you could trivialize it that way, Carp, but that just shows your age.
Instead, you could think that responsible parents would be genuinely concerned that their son has caused damage to someone's business/property.

One word, Ethics.
The main problem is that with the fast development of the web, it's getting harder and harder to prosecute and solve such a case.
It's clearly a shame. Not to mention irresponsable parents.Lorand R. Minyo

Bottom line is, You shouldn't give access to someone so young. Younger people get angry and don't care about others sometimes..

If something similar would happen to me and the damage would be quite considerable, I would sue the HORMONES out of him or his legal tutors.
These are serious issues and should be handeled as appropriate.Lorand R. Minyo

Can you really sue if you give him full access to the site like that? He had control over what went on....or at least the access to...

lorand the damages dont seem to be high dollar amount, just important to kerry. What legal action could you take if someone purchased the domains themselves, have fun explaining that in court along with why he was given access, as well as being lucky and getting a judge who knows anything about this kind of stuff.
Not saying the dude isnt wrong, just saying it wouldnt realy hold up in court,<<< Please see Forum Guidelines for signature setup. >>>0
