In general, a child under 18 cannot be held criminally responsible for using their parent's credit card without permission. However, the parents may be held liable for any unauthorized charges made by their child. If the child knowingly and intentionally commits fraud by using the credit card without permission, there may be legal consequences such as restitution or civil penalties, but incarceration is unlikely. It is important for parents to monitor and safeguard their financial information to prevent unauthorized use.
