A 12-year-old boy uses family's credit card and flew to Bali alone

A 12-year-old Australian boy really ticked off his parents by using the family credit card to buy flights to Bali, Indonesia, after he
had an argument with his mum.

Given the pseudonym Drew by A Current Affair, the boy also managed to fool his grandmother into giving him his passport. He figured out he could fly on certain Australian airlines without parental permission, only needing a school ID and a valid passport to fly. 

Drew told his parents one morning he was off to school, but instead hopped on his scooter and caught a train to Sydney airport. There he used self-service check-in, passed security, and made his way first to Perth. No one there suspected anything wrong.
"They just asked for my student ID and passport to prove that I'm over 12 and that I’m in secondary school," he told the program.
Bali isn't a place that's short of accommodation, and Drew managed to book himself a room at the All Seasons Hotel (a relatively modest, three-star abode), telling staff he was checking in early and waiting for his sister was coming later. 
"There's no emotion to feel what we felt when we found out when he left overseas," Drew's mother, only known as Emma, told the program. She reported her son missing, not that he seemed to have worried.
"It was great," Drew said. "Because I wanted to go on an adventure."

The Pros and Cons Of COVID-19 Contact Tracing Apps

                Written by                Jack -  Guest author Contact tracing apps seem to be the new fad. Their popularity is also one that comes on the back of a series of unfortunate events. They seem to hold another approach to fighting the menace of a disease that has claimed no less than 400,000 lives worldwide. The widespread race to get these apps working can also be attributed to the coming together of two big names in tech, Apple and Google, to make the frameworks for such apps happen. Like every other thing, though, how does the scales tip in favor of, or against, these apps?
