Kid Racks Up $5,900 Bill on Dad's iPad Playing Jurassic World
As long as there are smartphones and tablets, games geared for kids, and kids with enough time on their hands (and creativity) to thwart their parents' security measures, there will always be kids racking up huge charges on their parents' accounts. That's just the nature of the child-parent relationship, we feel. The latest in the "you spent what on my what" saga comes from West Sussex, England.

However, that’s risky business because there is no guarantee that the users will ever pay.

Warning: Pokemon GO is a Death Sentence if you are a Black Man.
This week has been a catastrophe for Blackness. Two men, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, were killed by police officers within 24 hours of each other. Neither had committed a crime that was punishable by death nor did they put any officers lives at risk. It’s inexcusable, unjustifiable, and is perpetuated by a system that disproportionately targets Black Men. Then in the same week, police officers in Dallas were killed during an otherwise peaceful protest about those killings.

Pokémon Go is doing a lot of good, here are 3 surprising ways
“What are they doing?” That was the question an older woman, probably around 70 or so, asked me yesterday. She was pointing to a group of 18-ish boys and girls near a YMCA, the biggest (and, so far, only) Pokestop in the city where I live. Without exception, the teens were all staring at their smartphones. “They’re playing Pokémon Go,” I replied. The lady didn’t comment, but her facial expression was a mix of disconcert and skepticism.
