A six-year-old boy in the United States who loves playing video games spent nearly $16,000 (Rs 2570393) from his mother’s credit card to buy additional features on his favourite video game Sonic Forces.

According to reports, Jessica discovered that the transactions worth $16,000 were made in July when her son had started using the iPad for his games and bought add-ons on the games.

Some of the major transactions were made on July 8 when her son made purchases worth $2,500 on a single day.

Unaware of the financial burden of her son’s virtual shopping over the month of July, his mother registered fraud claims after she saw that Apple and Paypal were withdrawing huge sums of money from her account.

However, it was only in October that she got to know that the charges were hers and she needed to get in touch with Apple.

On blaming Apple, she said that her son did not understand that the money was real.
