The woman bought a PlayStation for her little nugget through her debit card. She was unaware of the fact that it just ignited the fire that would engulf her salary and bonus soon. The boy was delighted and took to the gaming device to play FIFA 18. But he was unaware of the extra terms and features embedded in the game. He went on to get more and more points.

After a few days, the woman went to withdraw some money. But she was told that she had an insufficient amount in her account. She was horrified and got out of her breath. Brushing aside her fears, she called up the bank and reported the peculiar thing. The bank told her that PlayStation was deducting the amount from her account. She was taken aback and went around catching the roots of the whole situation. Finally, she came to know that PlayStation was charging her for the points that her son got on the FIFA 18.

The PlayStation people told her that it was an adult game and did not ask for the consent of payment again. Also, they were signed online so the card details were stored with them. Eventually, she tried hard to keep her part before them. She told them that her son was just 14-years-old and he did not know about the payment terms. In fact, she apprised them that he did not feed in any card details. But her efforts went into the drain as they expressed their helplessness to sort out the issue.

The boy was traumatized with the whole episode. He blamed himself for the misery of his family. He was unaware of the payment while he was enjoying his game. The game did not give any warning or notification of charges to the boy and his mother. The mother said that there might be some option in the settings but he was not acquainted with it. According to the afflicted mother, the boy locked himself in his room and did not get out of his bed.

The whole episode brought not just the loss of money but other elements too. The mother was having her first Christmas as a full-time worker so everyone was excited. But the Irish family had to go for a gloomy Christmas. Not just that, she had to get her son out of the school too!
