Teen racks up $8,000 Xbox bill, report says

 

Smooth  move, Xbox.

Pembroke, Ontario parent Lance Perkins got the shock of a lifetime on Dec. 23 when he discovered his 17-year-old son had racked up nearly $8,000 on in-app purchases through his Xbox video gaming system.

I'd take my boy outside with his xbox and then tell him to smash it with a sledge. Then tell him to get a job because he owes me some money.


1 question, why did the moron parents give him access to their credit card?

Yeah, great question. Having a teenage, XBOX addicted son myself, I can say they make it really hard for kids to do this unless you willfully give your kids access to your info.
