O/T Got kids with a phone? listen up

[crashbang]

Ok , please read.
We all know kids play games on google play etc, and some games have
(in app) purchases, so far so good.
Now most apps , if you want to purchase anything need the bill payers password etc.
so kids can't willy nilly buy stuff.
So imagine my daughters suprise when she found out she had been cut off today,
until she paid her bill.
£890 racked up in ONE day.
Some games the kids play (bearing in mind he has Autism ,9 year old, and doesn't know the difference between 8p £8 or £8000.)
Have put a new link on the games , which says " in app purchase , add to phone bill" thus bypassing going to Mum to ask to buy something.
Fking frightening.

And that’s the problem with today’s ‘easy please em’ society, 9 year olds with a mobile.

In our days Crash the girls had a whip and top and we’d be lucky to have to ‘share’ a football.

Never understand why kids have phones at that age just to play games.

You're right, kids playing games whatever next?
Thing is you Meldrews probably played space invaders or such like.
You can't get a two ton arcade machine in your back pocket.
