A Scots mum has demanded a refund after her six-year-old daughter accidentally spent £200 on mobile game Roblox.
Little Nieve McPherson made a bunch of in-app purchases on the popular online game using her grandmother's phone.
Now, her mother Florence, who lives in Edinburgh, has contacted Roblox calling for the money to be returned as her daughter did not fully understand what she was doing.
Nieve spent the money three weeks ago while she was staying with her nana, who is Florence's mother-in-law.
According to Edinburgh Live, the whole scenario has caused Florence "sleepless nights."
She told them: "There should be more barriers in place. I mean they probably have something buried in their terms and conditions saying there could be charges, but I was surprised at how easily she could do it.
"When she uses my iPad there are passwords and a thumb print stopping her from buying things, but on my mother-in-law's phone, which was an Android, she was obviously able to get through.
"It's had an impact. I've had sleepless nights over this."
Roblox is packed with games and puzzles created by other "amateur" users, and these can then be played by children across the globe.
Florence says Roblox should refund the purchases, which came out of her mother-in-law's bank account.
She added: "You worry games like these could take advantage of young minds. It was done by a minor who didn't have permission, It's obviously a mistake.
"She's subscribed to something multiple times, and just hit the button repeatedly.
"We've been in to the bank, and they said to go to Google. Now we've applied to Roblox. It's left my mother-in-law out of pocket, and I just fear they are going to drag their heels."
Roblox have been approached for comment.
