Child Uses Sleeping Mom's Fingerprints To Buy Pokemon Gifts
by Alfred Ng
When you want to buy $250 worth of Pokemon presents, desperate times call for desperate measures.
A fingerprint-ID locked phone wasn't going to stop this 6-year-old from catching 'em all.
Online purchases have been a pain in the wallet for parents, with the Federal Trade Commission hitting Apple, Google and Amazon with complaints
accusing the companies of making it too easy for kids to make in-app pur- chases.
Kids buying online with- out their parents' con- sent has cost these com- panies millions in settle- ments. For Bethany Howell, in Arkansas, her daughter's unsolicited shopping spree reported- ly cost her $250 in Pokemon presents.
The wannabe Ash Ketchum -- or maybe Team Rocket is more apt -- used her mother's
thumb to unlock a phone and open the Amazon app as mom napped on the couch just days before Christmas, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Little Ashlynd ordered 13 Pokemon gifts for her- self, and told her parents she was "shopping" when they thought their Amazon account was hacked. The 6-year-old at least reassured her parents though that she got the shipping address right.
