The girl’s addiction to mobile games was exposed by her teacher, who noticed how much time she spent on her phone and contacted her mother.
The mother checked her bank account and found it had only seven cents left.
She confronted her daughter, who admitted to spending the money on games.
The girl said she did not know much about money or where it came from. She said she felt reluctant to give money to her classmates, but they would bother her if she refused.
She also said she was afraid to tell the teacher or her parents about her gaming habit.
To hide her spending, she deleted the chat records and payment transactions from her phone.
The mother tried to get a refund from the payment companies, but she has not received the full amount back yet. She said she was devastated by her daughter’s actions and hoped other parents would learn from her mistake.
