Parents bemoan ease of in-app payments

A couple from Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, have found a novel way to educate their son about the dangers of in-app payments.

Xiao Hao, 12, became obsessed with a mobile game in April and played it on his mother's mobile phone on an almost daily basis for several weeks.

His parents didn't pay much attention until one day his mother found unexplained charges on her credit card bill amounting to 9,000 yuan ($1,390).
