Often we hear about children racking up hundreds of dollars worth of in-app purchases, paid for by their parents with real money. Parents’ consent is usually not there in such cases. Even if they allow one in-app purchase, a 30-minute window is opened in which subsequent purchases can be made without requiring credentials or consent. Children can continue to make in-app purchases without the parents even knowing. A mother recently sued Google after her son spent $66 without her knowledge. The company has now tweaked the way it bills IAPs.
