Say even if Apple decides to play policeman, how will it know when a parent is blaming their kids for a purchase they themselves made (and now regret and want reversed)? I think if the scenario were "my friend broke into my Ipad and use my Apple store ID to make purchase of $1000 in-line purchase. I want Apple to reimburse my money and ban all in-line app purchase or limit the size of in-line app purchase", all of us will have a collective "huh, really??" moment. In our justice systems, if my friend broke into my computer and make purchase, it is a) my responsibility to protect my computer and b) I should go after my friend either legally or personally for him/her to pay for the purchase. And in our culture, kids is the parent's responsibility. But somehow because a kid is involve, Apple or the app owner is the boogey man and has to pay of the illegal purchase...It only happen in America 8-))
