A seven-year-old in the UK is costing his father $4000 after playing a game of Jurassic World on his dads iPad
Mohamed Shugaa, 32, had no clue that his son, Faisall, downloaded the iTunes game or even knew the password to his tablet until his bank card was declined.
Apparently the child was paying in 'dino bucks' to upgrade the game. He didn't realise he was spending his dads money. 60 transactions were made in 5 days!!

Absolutely crazy how a child can be allowed to rack up these sort of charges in-app. There has to be a certain parental responsibility however in letting a 7 year old know his password. Surely he should have noticed a game had been downloaded.

I wouldn't have let a young child access to a password to an account that can easily have money spent. The man should have put a parental lock on or simpler, don't let the kids have your password

Actually the father must allow his son access to his iPad....first mistake in my opinion....To go on and then claim he wasn't aware what his son was playing online or that he knew the password.... shows a complete lack of parental responsibility in my opinion..

My thoughts too though it has to be said I get quite alarmed when I see so many two and three year olds happily playing away on a very expensive tablet these days.....

It surprises me that they are allowed to play on expensive tablets at their ages as they will easily break them
