Correct.

Yes and give a kid who comes home with an F a tap on the shoulder saying "good job son you could have had a G !"
This is not how life works. Sometimes, people, at any age, need to have some sense talked into them. Being harsh, while truthful, is sometimes how you can be the most "positive" about a situation. My best friends are the ones who have the guts, the courage and the love to confront me harshly about anything stupid I'd do without noticing, not the ones always being kind and comprehensive about anything I'd do.
Always giving people excuses and "it's okay to blablabla" is usually the best way to ensure they don't realize what needs to be changed in their way of thinking and continue in the same direction.
I'm no judge, I don't know this person, don't have enough room in my mind to really care about his problem. I come here to talk about a game, not random life facts. I could have actually closed the thread cursing at how stupid people are, but I didn't, not because I wanted to hurt his feelings, but because I'm somehow certain that if a guy like this can get help, it's with people being harsh on how bad he failed with his parenting and how terrible consequences could have been on that matter.
That's not something to kid about, not something to curse about, but if I wanna be helpful to that dude, it's by telling him how much of a stupid mistake he made.
He truly is lucky to get this lesson taught to him with so few collaterals. Kindness can be the ennemy of helpfulness sometimes you know.
Anyway enough philosophic thoughts for today, I'm sure the guy is smart enough not to get offended by internet comments anyway, so your argument is irrelevant.

Like I replied before, Supercell won't give you anything back.
You must contact the Google Play Store, they are the only ones who can help you because they are the ones that took your money (even though they could tell you otherwise)
Already got an answer from the Google Play store and they told me to contact the developer!
But please tell me you disciplined your child. Sorry to hear this happened. I hope SC sees this as a learning experience and maybe give you a partial refund. Then you could turn around and explain to him that every action has a consequence. Then when he can walk again (after a firm spanking, loss of smartphone for awhile), make him earn what he owes you. Never a shortage of yards to rake for an eager 11 year old.
Just my two cents.
I'm not in a position to spank my child for his actions when I'm partly to blame and I never will spank him. I beleive spanking your child is incorrect method for punishment, educating is the way ahead and in this instance both of us need educating on this subject. I did not realise this is a parenting forum!
For your information his sim card has been deactivated - Phone confiscated and he will be paying for the transactions from his own money which he has available to him!

It's an all in one forum. You get the best of the best here. Lol. I know if I had a shady kid at age 11, who uses loopholes in Google play, who knows right from wrong, he would be punished accordingly. That's why jails and prisons are over filled, kids were never taught the concept of consequences for their actions. Just turn on the news. But you're right sorry for intruding on this private matter, it's just that you kind of opened yourself up to it. Good dayI'm not in a position to spank my child for his actions when I'm partly to blame and I never will spank him. I beleive spanking your child is incorrect, educating is the way ahead and in this instance both of us need educating on this subject. I did not realise this is a parenting forum!
Be careful next time just monitor your son's activities
If he is 11, I almost doubt it was an accident.
