Week 8 - Poor Parenting at its Finest.

Today I came across an article that talks about how some parents are suing Google after their children racked up in-app bills.  When purchasing games and apps in the Google Play store you have to enter a password, once this is done the user has a 30-minute window that allows you to make purchases without a password.  A New Yorker mother was shocked to find this out when her five-year-old son ran up $66 in games.  The author then talks about how games should not unfairly manipulate children into spending money. 

Honestly, this article is outrageous.  The fact that some woman is trying to sue Google over something she could’ve avoided if she had been paying closer attention to her son.  The lack of attentiveness is a sign of poor parenting.  Even with this, the fact that the mother blames Google vice herself is absurd. Take responsibility for your actions lady! When I say your actions I mean you should be devoting your attention to your five-year-old son, who should be out playing with other children instead of playing on technology.  Children playing on technology are the most common trend these days in which the parents have allowed.  The fact that parents have the audacity to blame others for their failures is foolish.
