[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to immediately contact Epic Games, explain that the purchases were unauthorized, and request a refund.

Obviously, your child needs a serious consequence, including shutting down the Fortnite account. But your kid does not understand what $3,000 is or how it would impact family safety/security. [/quote]

Agree with this.  [b]He probably doesn't completely understand the gravity of what he did. [/b] But he should absolutely not have access to a computer unmonitored anymore and he definitely shouldn't still have gaming accounts.  You and your husband also need to lock down your passwords better. [/quote]

What? You're not raising your kids right if they get to 9 years old and don't realize that stealing is not OK. If this happened over a period of time, they kid might not have counted how much money left the account, but the mere concept of paying money for something online only with parent authorization should have been ingrained a long time ago.

From OP's description, it really sounds as if her oldest is missing a huge chunk of ethics they should already master. This concerns me. The kid seems almost sociopathic, in that he doesn't care who he hurts or what the consequences are. Maybe a psychological evaluation is in order.
