Our 11-year-old daughter ran up a £2,400 Roblox gaming bill

My wife was in hospital and couldn't monitor her spending on in-app purchases

My 11-year-old daughter made more than 300 in-app purchases over five days on Roblox, the online games platform, resulting in a 2,400 bill on my wife's PayPal account.

At the time, my wife was in ICU recovering from a 15-hour operation to remove a brain tumour. Incapacitated, and without access to her phone, she was unable to authorise or monitor this spending.
