Mobile phones became a part of our life and we cannot imagine our lives without them. Even kids are obsessed with phones and play games round the clock. But too much addiction is not good and would leave a toll on mental health. Now parents have another reason to not let their kids use mobile phones.
In a shocking case, a teenager who is addicted to mobile phones gave a big shock to his mother as she lost as much as 36 lakhs. This unexpected case was reported from Hyderabad. The teenager started making in-game purchases and almost spent 36 lakhs from her mother’s account.
Teenagers are addicted to fighting games like Free Fire and PUBG. Free Fire shot to super fame when the PUBG game was banned. A teenager downloaded the app on his grandfather’s phone. To get extra features, the teenager started making in-game purchases.
Initially, he made a purchase in hundreds. Then the amount increased to thousands. Slowly, he started making purchases in big amounts and his mother faced a big shock in her life knowing that her son drained around 36 lakhs in her bank account. Her family was in deep shock.
This incident is a big example of how parents should be alert to their kids when they are using mobile phones. Kids these days have enough knowledge of using cards, net banking, and others. So if parents are not alert, then they will have to face issues like this.
When the lockdown was imposed due to Covid fear, schools, and colleges took the help of online classes to teach the students. They were given mobile phones and tabs for this. With this, students became very close to their phones and we are hearing such incidents now.
