A boy, or rather, a child of 11 years has spent more than 1,000 pounds (1,082 to be precise) owned by the mother on Xbox Live. Whose fault is it? But of course Microsoft. "It seems ridiculous that a child of this age can spend all that money without any controls are in place," said his mother, Dawn Matthews, during an interview with the Daily Mail.
"Monitor what your child does every minute is almost impossible. Companies like Microsoft should monitor and take their responsibilities rather than taking advantage of vulnerable people." Dawn Matthews had probably entered the data of his credit card to buy an Xbox Live Gold to his son, Brendan: "I would serve only to play with his friends online." "When I showed him the bill for the credit card burst into tears," said Dawn, "has disconnected the Xbox and he said that he would not have ever used." "I have not punished because he was already pretty bad and because I believe that ultimately the blame is not entirely his." Microsoft has responded stating that the Xbox 360 has a system of "parental controls" that serves precisely to avoid such problems.
Dawn Matthews said that "for people like Bill Gates 1000 pounds are not a large figure, but for me it's a lot of money."
