I'm surprised how many of the comments on that page blame the parent. I think Apple should issue refunds for people who just change their mind about if a purcha

  The story doesn't make any sense. If she thought the transactions were fraud why did she not file a chargeback? I mean, she spoke to the credit card company, it's basically the first thing they would do (even if she wasn't aware of the option). There is some detail missing in the story.

    The story says that Chase ultimately decided that the charges were legitimate and would not issue a chargeback. Because that decision didn't come in until 60 days after the purchase, Apple refused to issue a refund and blamed the victim. What part is missing?

      I missed that detail, thank you for the info. But that just raises another question: Chase would not unilaterally make such a decision, they would contact the Apple and request information from them. So would that request not come in before the 60 days?

        It might not, depending on how or when they found out about the charges. If she didn't learn about them until she saw her credit card statement, it could have been almost 30 says before she even knew to start a dispute. The story does not establish a concrete timeline, but I definitely don't think it beggars belief.

  They do allow that, just not after 60 days, on consumables no less. Taking months after your initial credit card bill to find out your damn kid is spending thousands (which you can’t afford) through frictionless IAP you set up is just stupid. Not saying the microtransactions aren’t scummy though.
