She was just a lookin’ pa nub! A 13-year-old’s plans for hooking up with the long distance boyfriend she met on XBox were foiled by one-time in Tennessee where she was nabbed for stealing her brother’s car!
A 13-year-old Texas girl snatched her brother’s car and drove across three states to visit a boyfriend she met playing Xbox games online, authorities said.
Elizabeth Robinson, of Cypress, near Houston, was pulled over by police in Nashville — 800 miles away — and taken into custody on Thursday, local station KHOU reported.
Her parents said she was headed to Hodgenville, Ky., to meet a 12-year-old boy named Dylan, whom she met playing Xbox.
“She had mentioned that she was talking to a boy online and said he was her boyfriend,” her mother, Tressa Robinson, told the station.
“She started staying in her bedroom more, isolating herself where she was always with the headset, always talking. That’s how they communicated through the Xbox.”
The Robinsons discovered the girl missing Thursday morning, along with her brother’s car and Tressa’s ATM card.
The lovestruck teen tried to throw her folks off her scent with a note saying she was upset about being bullied at school and headed to a girlfriend’s house.
But her parents later checked her email account and found a message with Dylan’s address, the station reported.
The couple suspected Elizabeth might pull a stunt like this after her father took her Xbox away and she started asking about the gas mileage on her brother’s car, KHOU reported.
Authorities tracked the girl though her use of her mom’s ATM card, and the little outlaw was picked up by a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer who recognized the car from an Amber Alert.
Dylan, meanwhile, didn’t leave home during his online squeeze’s cross-country trek.
Elizabeth’s father was on his way to pick her up from police, the station said.
Boy things sure have changed since we were kids. XBox live is the new Match.com for the tween set?
