Tamara, you are so grounded.
Thanks to kidnapping laws in the U.S. a 31 year old Australian woman is under arrest for allegedly attempting to kidnap her 17 year-old American WoW boyfriend.
Tamara Broome was arrested by three detectives when she was en route to meet her beau. The two had shared a year long courtship in the virtual world and according to News.com.au intended to marry. Broome was arrested as it was thought she was in the U.S. to lure her online lover back to Australia. It appears, however, that she may have been set up by the lad’s parents.
According to Broome’s housemate, the teenager’s parents paid for her trip to the U.S. so the two could get together and sort out their relationship. He was stopped attempting to board a plane to the great southern land while she was picked up by the detectives boarding a train near the teenagers house in North Carolina.
Broome is currently behind bars in the Pitt County Detention Centre, North Carolina with an absolutely ludicrous $2.35 (£1.17) million bond and a court date set for July 11.
Parents: 1, WoW relationship: 0.
There have been a few hilarious Parents vs WoW stories of late (the infamous Kara cry incident being one of the classiest), but barely-legal Broome ambush is a little over the top.

I agree this was a little OTT. Because its international via the net and WoW, it gets in the papers. 17...the kids almost an adult. Move along, nothing to see here. While they still have this adult age of 21 out there, this shows how bad it can appear even if your intentions are good.
