Some time ago, a similar news came out from China where a 13-year-old girl had stolen Rs 52 lakh from her mother’s account due to game addiction.
Did you download this game
A 16-year-old child living in Amberpet, Hyderabad had downloaded a game called Free Fire, which is a popular mobile game. Money is needed to move forward in this game. As a user invests money in the game, he gets good weapons and great experience. The 16-year-old initially invested Rs 1,500 and then Rs 10,000 in the game. As he got used to the game, he made Rs 36 lakh disappear from his mother’s account.
Keep these things in mind
- Never tell your children the UPI Pin. In case of knowing the PIN, the child can do anything wrong online. Even your bank account can be hacked. Children do not know much about the Internet and they click on any suspicious link or message.
- Always keep a password on the phone. If you give a phone to your child, keep banking related apps very secure.
- Inform children also about the activities happening online so that they too can understand things.
- Limit the gaming time of children and do not let them play games that talk about money.
Addiction to anything from a young age is not right for a child. This can later create problems for their health and for you. Our advice is to involve children in mind games and physical games which is good for their health and mental health.
