"A boy has racked up a bill of around \u00C2\u00A31,700 on his parent&amp;#039;s account after making in-app purchases on an iPad game. Danny Kitchen, 5, was playing the free-to-play title Zombies vs Ninjas when he asked his father for the password to the family&amp;#039;s iTunes account. Danny&amp;#039;s mother Sharon was later charged around \u00C2\u00A31,300 as a result of the child purchasing a \u00C2\u00A369.99 item 19 times in ten minutes, before the bill went up to \u00C2\u00A31,700. The \u00C2\u00A369.99 in-app item for Zombies vs Ninjas grants the player 90,000 darts or 333 bombs to fend off the undead. Sharon recalled to the Daily Mail: &amp;quot;On Sunday afternoon, Danny asked my husband for the passcode. We had lots of visitors in the house and were both a little preoccupied. &amp;quot;I recall my husband saying, &amp;#039;No - what is it for?&amp;#039; and Danny said, &amp;#039;It&amp;#039;s okay, it&amp;#039;s a free one, dad&amp;#039;. So my husband keyed in the passcode.&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;As of yet, we are still waiting for iTunes to recognise that this was a big mistake. &amp;quot;Danny has been in tears when we told him how much money he had spent.&amp;quot; Apple has yet to respond to their case, but a spokesperson stated: &amp;quot;Parental controls give parents and guardians the option to turn off functionality such as purchasing from iTunes and the ability to turn off in-app purchases. &amp;quot;Our parents&amp;#039; guide to iTunes details the steps and measures parents and guardians can take to make sure younger players have access to the right content. The first thing we recommend is not to share your password.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
