6-Year-Old Twins Spend $1,600 Playing iPad Game

Dad Ashley Griffith told the Daily Telegraph his 6-year-old twins spent the weekend playing with his iPad–and almost $1,600 on in-app purchases. When Griffiths and his wife received an email from Apple showing four pages’ worth of purchases of virtual pets and clothes for said pet, Ashley, understandably, was upset.
