This sounds like a parenting problem, not a legal problem.

It's not a parenting problem that a human brain develops over many years and is initially incapable of understanding some of the constraints the world places on it.

So teach them? Isn't that what the parent post was saying?

Teaching them is not an instant process. And given the number of these in app purchases that manages to lure in parents, that's totally unrealistic in any case.

What's unrealistic about not letting your kids buy IAP? You set parental control and tell them they are not allowed to buy IAP and that's it.

You also have to teach kids to brush their teeth every night. That's 365 times a year. Is that unrealistic to teach them, too? Or is teaching them to brush their teeth an instant process?
