A boy squanders more than 1,000 pounds with the credit card of the mother ... who takes issue with Microsoft. Do you think is right?

An eleven year old Englishman was able to spend more than 1,000 pounds (almost 1,200 Euros) on Live, purchasing virtual games and accessories with the credit card of madre.Dawn Matthews is a single mother with two children: Brendan, 11 years old, and Abigail , 13 years. To allow Brendan out a subscription to Xbox Live service has included in the data of your credit card and abandoned the cosa.Dopo a couple of months has tried to use the card to pay the phone bill, but it is responding felt that he had insufficient funds: the son had in fact spent 1082.52 pounds, however, unaware of the figure that was approaching. Dawn Matthews is directed both to the bank either, but for both the payments are regular and technically nothing happened to illegale.La woman, however, would like to get back the money claiming that the blame for what happened in the end, it is Microsoft: "it is impossible to review everythingtheir children are doing. These should assume their responsibilities. Exploit vulnerable people, "said the woman, according to which Xbox Live uses a system that makes it" too easy "spending money." Brendan is 11 years old. When I showed him how much he spent burst into tears and pulled the Xbox, saying he did not want her anymore. I have not punished because he feels bad enough. It is ridiculous to allow someone of that age to make payments out of control. When in game mode can not think of the money. You can not tie all that responsibility to a boy "has yet explained the mother." A thousand pounds is not that much for people like Bill Gates, but for a single mother have a lot of money, he does not, "he finally declared Dawn Matthews, hoping to regain the money back. Microsoft, by their own hand, explains that there are in the "integrated control systems" and that such problems are "extremely rare" amongover 30 million users of Xbox Live. "We must also note" - he said a company spokesperson - "that in the Live account registered in the name of the online business is off by default, and to be activated requires the intervention of parents in the Family Settings section".
