"A young schoolboy left his family with a \u00A32,000 credit card bill to foot after playing a game on his grandfather&amp;#039;s iPad, according to a report. Will Smith, 6, unknowingly accumulated the charges while using the popular children&amp;#039;s app Monster Island, The Mirror claims. The youngster gained access to his grandfather&amp;#039;s iTunes password and purchased various in-game items, some of which are said to have cost as much as \u00A370.  Fraud squad officers became suspicious due to the unusual amount of activity on the account, but the incident only came to light when the boy&amp;#039;s grandmother attempted to use the family credit card at a local supermarket where it was declined. &amp;quot;I must have synced my credit card up with the App Store and Will has just been pressing buttons buying baskets of food and coins for his monsters,&amp;quot; said the boy&amp;#039;s grandfather Barry Smith. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t believe how easy it is for kids to buy things. Will&amp;#039;s only 6.&amp;quot;  Apple agreed to refund the money after Smith contacted them and explained the situation.  Back in April, it was reported that a group of parents in the US are planning to sue Apple over allegations that it lures kids into making repeated in-app purchases in the &amp;quot;addictive&amp;quot; free-to-play titles it distributes.
