Mother Seeks Help Online After Child Accidentally Buys Robux Worth Over P11k
A mother seeks help from the online community after her five-year-old child accidentally purchased Robux worth P11,490.
Recently, Shang Valera, a Facebook user, shared her experience online about her young child accidentally spending a huge amount on a game. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.
Valera revealed that her 5-year-old son unknowingly purchased Robux, the in-game currency used in Roblox worth P11,490. She explained that the purchase happened without their knowledge.
It was only later that they discovered the large amount had been charged. She admitted that it was an honest mistake, and they could not closely monitor the game activity on the device.
Hoping for a solution, she asked if there was any way to get a refund or at least recover the money somehow. She also acknowledged their lapse as parents, asking people not to be too quick to judge.
While many people showed understanding and offered advice, some took the opportunity to criticize and even threaten her, forcing her to turn off the comments on her post.
Aside from harsh messages, she also received scam attempts, which added to her stress. Thankfully, some kind-hearted individuals messaged her with useful tips on how to request a refund through proper channels.
The incident emphasizes the importance of putting child safety settings on gadgets and regularly checking app purchases. While kids may not fully understand the value of money, incidents like this can be costly and upsetting for parents.
Shang was thankful to those who reached out with support. She remains hopeful that they can recover the money and also learn from the experience moving forward.

EDIT:
Aware kami sa negligence namin. So there’s no need for you guys na mag feeling perfect na parang hindi nagkakamali sa buhay.

May mga nag try mang scam.
