Aw man, you're bringing back memories of my childhood here: I spent all my pocket money on those. Well, those and the chewing gum that had a "tattoo" in them :)

I'm with you on the "what are the parents doing while this is going on?" camp.
My son, now 8, plays some games on the iPad. He's got a bunch of Lego games and a couple of multiplayer games but he cannot interact with the other players except to fight on the same team: so no chatting or anything like that. In addition, he's been told he's not buying anything in-game and we've locked down the iPad so that he can't... in fact it pops up a message if he clicks anything to do with buying.
We've used the default list of acceptable websites when you lock down the iPad. We may have removed a couple too and added Nickelodeon I think (for the games on it) and a couple of others but nothing like YouTube... that's pure shite imo!
He moans sometimes that his pal has Fortnite and he plays it at his house sometimes but he's not getting it at our house.
In all honesty a Google search and a bit of time is all it takes for parents to protect their kids online these days. No excuse.
