'There were over 100 charges': 15-year-old gamer nephew caught spending $1500 on in-game purchases using his uncle's stolen credit card info, Mom defends her lying son

Gaming can get expensive—especially when you're an unsupervised child with Mommy or Daddy's credit card. This 15-year-old was happy to spend his uncle's money on his gaming, but when the swift hand of justice came around, he quick saved and bailed before the final boss.

While it behooves many parents to think the best of their children, when a non-gaming adult discovers 100's of PlayStation charges on their credit card, perhaps it's time to start considering plausible alternatives. It's possible that your little angel child is spending $25 on in-game purchases that make their character look like a glow stick or maybe there's a new treasurebox that can only be unlocked through an online DLC. I understand giving your kid the benefit of the doubt when it comes to tomfoolery, but this uncle caught his nephew red-handed stealing from the family cookie jar.

Read on for the full story that'll leave non-gamers baffled at the expenses that can rack up to make your Fortnite character do a sassy little front flip at the end of each game.
