A good gong will do that to you.

He was HOOKED on roblux..played it with his friends on his iPad. They recently came out with these items not sure what it is I forgot the name and he wanted it..and his friend was way ahead of him so he wanted to catch up..I told my sister if she had asked me who was using her credit card I would have told her it was him but she couldn’t believe that he did that especially after she asked him repeatedly if it was him buying it and he denied it(Even showed her his ipad showing her he had no money on his roblux account, yeah because he had already spent it) too damn smart for his own good!

Any word on whether she won?

Now THIS is a comment worthy of today’s prize. (Please contact the girl in China for your winnings).

“A 13-year-old girl in China spent around $64,000 of her parents’ money on mobile games this year, wiping out their savings account without their knowledge.”

Her parents must have been high on the income producers and high in the government to have that much savings in China.

A good gong will do that to you.

And we have a winner. 🏆

Gaming addiction among youth in China is so prevalent that the country has introduced internet restrictions on teenagers and children. Teens in the country aren't supposed to play video games for more than three hours a week, a goal the Chinese government said it was progressing steadily toward.

No such luck on limiting the consumption of bats however.

$64,000 line of credit? The mother must have a high in the Chi-com’s social credit scoring system.

Our bank account with debit card only keeps 1,000 maximum. Always have separate account for debit card.

Weeping as she spoke, Gong's daughter told Elephant News that she had linked her mother's debit card to her mobile phone but didn't know where the money came from or how much she was spending. She said that she remembered her mother telling her the account's password from a previous occasion when she asked to buy something else.

What a liar.

When my nephew was 12 he racked up $600 on my sister and BIL’s phone bill calling 1-800-Lets talk late at night. He got into mega trouble. Kids will do stuff.

My bad. The wife just told me it was “Subway Surfer”. Same difference. I’m just the one whose bank account was lighter the following morning.

“Gaming addiction among youth in China is... prevalent.” What a horrible life: fiction over reality. When I was a teenager I had brothers, friends, skateboards, surfboards, money for Del Taco, and church.

I used to walk miles with a quarter to play space invaders. Things sure have changed...64k?! This obsession with video games and anime and superheroes really annoys me. It’s not just kids, it’s loser adults too. Get a life! Look at the stars and save your money!

Ouch!
