Hahahah look at that fuckin faggot According to the article, he was 10 when she bought the subscription (he's 11 now, he's accumulated 18 months worth of debt). His dumbass mum doesn't even suspect that leaving a child with the ability to buy anything is a bad idea, and the fact that she took it up with microsoft's terrible support with a complaint like that just goes to show how much of an idiot she is. Also that background on his xbox, what's up with that?

[quote]racking up a £1082.52 debt to her account over six months.[/quote] What the fuck? It obviously wasn't as big as a deal as they're making it out to be if she only noticed [B]SIX MONTHS LATER[/B].

Oh cool he has Dead Space 2.

I really don't understand how this can be the fault of anyone but the mother and her son...

[QUOTE=Jzzb;27933574]Wow look at the tits on that[/QUOTE] Oh come on, he's just a little big boned is all.

"These companies should take some responsibility." Congratulations Dawn Jordan! You just won the dumbass of the year award. Everyone give her a round of applause!

I wouldn't be surprised if that stupid point system were to blame.

And this reminds me of the who spent $11,000 (i think) on virtual hats, at least the father admitted it was his mistake and paid for it, not like the kid is any less of a douche of course.

No checks? I'm pretty sure there's several screens before the purchase is made, even if you do save details. And there's a screen telling you that you have x amount of points and you need to buy some more with prices. So the kid not knowing anything is complete utter crap and the mum knows it too.

fuck microsoft, this is bullshit poor family [editline]9th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=stablemist;27945980]No checks?

This makes me very sad to see.

Can anyone read his gamertag? I want to add him.

Although I think this is mostly the parent's and the kid's fault I think they have a somewhat valid argument seeing as how Microsoft saves credit card information without asking or giving any warning.

The poor kid. Those selfish kids in Somalia can learn something from this devastated child.

[quote] 'Brendan is 11 and knows his times tables but it was only when I explained to him that he realised how much money he had spent. 'When I showed him he burst into tears. He unplugged the Xbox and said he didn't want it anymore.[/quote] well, at least he feels bad

Why is this even on the news? Here in 'Merica, this happens with thousands of families daily.

Parent fucks up, goes to news.

At lest that kid can now go outside and get rid of that double chin.

What a dumbass kid, you press "buy" on something, where do you think that the money comes from? Also, being a singer doesn't count as a second job, unless you do it at a club.
