sure, there is financially predatory shit all over app stores and social media, but i’m not sure this is the best anectode to be spreading that message with.
let’s assume the parents debit card got linked to their daughters iphone through icloud magic that average people wouldn’t know about. ok fine.
let’s assume they didn’t think they needed limits on the kids phone because there was no payment method. sure.
let’s also say that their bank should have alerted them to these transactions (even though there’s nothing inherently suspicious about them to me, people spend money on dumb shit all the time).
but even after all that… how the fuck do you not notice £8500 over 90 days gone from your checking account? i’m having a hard time sympathizing with that level of financial obliviousness.
