    1. Talk, converse, discuss with him, let him talk about it and express himself (understanding and self-realization is the key IMO). You can go the hard-way too, but that should be avoided in such a serious case. Patience is the key.
    2. If #1 does not work, if he is arrogant and there is no self realization or regret, then I would go the hard way and first discipline the boy to a level where he is ready to talk. And NO, beating the shit out of your 13 year old boy does not necessarily portray adulthood or any level of maturity/understanding.
    3. The idea should be to make him realize what he has done, its consequences, pros & cons and what it does to his relationships and associated trust levels (with parents, friends, family etc) in an amicable way.
    4. The next step would be finding a solution or way out that first does some damage control, preventing further damages and doing a repair work. I would ask him to find out a way to pay back the CC usage. It could be working part-time, reducing monthly expenses.
