The unnamed child, a secondary school student from Henan, was only caught by her mother after a teacher called to say she thought the girl might be...
These stories are always wild to me. Who keeps giving unrestricted access for their credit card to children?

@NotSteve_ This is what I was thinking. Even not obsessively checking though. She didn’t check it once in four months?
the girl said she didn't understand much about money

- She knew to hide the transaction history from her parents
- She knew she shouldn't give money to her classmates

So does this girls parents
Yeah, make it so that either
- I pay to buy the game and I have fully access to everything it offers

A game which you can pay to buy gems which speeds up your fucking castle's build time is moronic and shouldn't exist at all

And she will forever be satisfied with all her purchases and never desire anything else.
