>>Needless to say, Apple has been notified, and I fully expect these charges to get reversed. <<

I assume that kid's going to get reversed, too. ;-)

But really, what is the sense of even having hundred dollar in-app purchases in a game that is marketed to kids? Apple won't allow porn in the App Store, but they allow this? WTF? *

Smart kid. Hope you're proud, as well as hell bent on getting that money back! Sucks, but that kid of yours just stole my heart. I was just like that! Actually, truth be told, much, much worse.

And yes, please hammer back, hard as a nail. An Apple policy change on that would help a lot of people, not just parents of really, really smart kids.

>>one of the kids had guessed an AppStore password

I am curious…were you using the "Restrictions" settings in iOS to prevent in-app purchases and they guessed that password?

Or did they crack your Apple ID password?
