[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old stole over $3k on online gaming purchases. He stole my husband and I’s password in order to make purchases and I’m just exhausted/defeated. He didn’t stop because it was wrong, he stopped because there was no money left/was getting declined. I have a newborn baby less than 6 weeks old that relies on formula and we can’t even get that because this kid who’s not that little (fully understood what he was doing), decided three thousand dollars worth of fortnite skins was more important. This is not the first time either! We changed our password and he stole it and money again. What do you do in this situation?[/quote]

1) uninstall fortnite from your computers/profiles
2) remove your credit card from any game with potential for in-app purchases.  if not, there's probably some fine print where you consented to your kid's purchases. 
3) make sure your email address is listed for these gaming sites--i don't understand how you didn't get email verifications of a purchase each time your credit card was used. 
4) did he steal $3k in a single month?  make sure you check your credit card bills regularly.
