Stupid is as stupid does.
Too many parents are far too lenient with their offspring regarding cell phones, etc.
Parent is a doofus. Kid is a spoiled brat, who got off with nothing in the way of consequences.
Didn’t teach either one of them a single thing.
I think at the least they should have paid about $4000 for all their stupidity. Kid should have had to pay it out of her allowance even if it took 5 years.
Parent probably believed what the daughter was permitted to do would be cheap or free. The family did agree on the measures to take, but they were unfortunately not sufficient.
If I were the consumer king, I would require the phones to flash a warning and a yes/no choice box up on the screen when an exorbitant charge was about to be incurred.
“As Soriano understood it from a phone call with her carrier, there would be no additional cost for that, other than the standard charges included in the family’s data plan. “
It seems she was under the impression that internet wasn’t going to cost anymore than in the states. That doesn’t make the kid a brat or the mom stupid.
Sometimes Freepers can be so hateful about people when they don’t even read the articles.
Sure it did. Taught them to find a carrier that won't be so blatant about hosing them
