Teen Prank Puts Boy Up for Bid on EBay

HAZEN, N.D. (AP) - A prank that involved putting a high school senior up for bids on an online auction service has landed the boy and one of his classmates in trouble.

The teenagers have lost their computer privileges for the rest of the school year, Hazen Principal Ed Boger said.

Dana Mattheis, the mother of the boy being "sold" on eBay, said she thought the prank was funny.

"Mr. Boger didn't," she said. "The whole thing has been blown out of proportion."

Boger said he does not know if the boys broke any laws. But he said the school has policies that prohibit using the computer network for commercial purposes or to post personal information about students.

Mattheis said the ad contained nothing inappropriate and the boys were just joking around.

The only bidders were two of the boys' friends, who ran the price up to $3,300.

The auction has been pulled from eBay.

They incorporated that into an episode of Law & Order: SVU and labeled the act as prostitution.

Didn't see the episode. I reckon it could constitute prostitution, as it would be procurement for sex---money exchanged for sexual gratification. Strange--the whole debacle. :roll:
