Mom wants livestream money back

Teen daughter spent 657,000 yuan to show affection for male hosts

A mother in Beijing has demanded that a popular livestreaming platform refund the 657,000 yuan ($99,300) that her teenage daughter spent lavishing handsome hosts with "virtual gifts".

The woman, identified only as Liu, lost a lawsuit to recover the money in September, but has lodged an appeal with Beijing No 3 Intermediate People's Court.
