Lapsus$: Oxford teen accused of being multi-millionaire cyber-criminal

> The boy's father told the BBC: "I had never heard about any of this until recently. He's never talked about any hacking, but he is very good on computers and spends a lot of time on the computer. I always thought he was playing games."

> We're going to try to stop him from going on computers."

>The BBC has also spoken to the boy's mother, who did not want to comment.

I saw a lot of comments on HN lately about how LAPSUS$ are bad people. But this kid sounds like he has absent, brainless parents who seem intent on defending themselves instead of answering why they reduced their child’s advanced skills into “playing computer games”. Seriously?

Maybe steer them in the right direction? Aka, be a parent?
