At some point parents should have to take some responsibility for parenting their children. Absolutely everything seems to be somebody else's fault, except for the parents.

Kids don't earn their own money. If kids are spending real money in a game then the parents had to okay it.

I would imagine that in a lot of cases parents just don't understand how these apps work. Something like this happens the first time, and then they figure out how to put those controls into place.
