ahah parents 100% at fault

It should not be allowed to sell for large amounts to children who have no money.

It is normal that it is forbidden to sell alcohol to young girls or to sell them cars or houses. The seller has a responsibility. Roblox behaved like an unscrupulous drug seller. Here he is the culprit.

The child used the username and password defined by the parents. Technically it is therefore the parents who are responsible.

The seller is absolutely not involved.

Being parents implies having a minimum of notion of responsibility …..

Why reason "technically" in this matter? Don't you have a heart? Are you a Vulcan?

In addition technically, it is wrong to say that a seller has no responsibility, especially vis-à-vis children. If you've ever tried to start a business, you should know that there are thousands of rules to protect customers. For example, you must have fire extinguishers in your shop, you must not have anything sharp or sharp, or anything that would cause an injury (obviously unless you are a knife seller), it is forbidden to claim money to an insolvent person, there is a right of withdrawal which is almost completely generalized, with the exception of well-marked promotions, etc.

And then, put yourself in the place of the seller for two minutes and answer frankly:

– Would you be proud to have sold software bullshit for 2000 euros to an 8 year old girl like her?

Not me. I would obviously reimburse, perhaps keeping only two or three euros, and I would tell parents that they should be more careful. This is what must happen in a civilized country.
