Parents Deleted Son's Gaming Account He'd Built for 5 Years

In the end, my second child's Roblox account was permanently deleted today. I knew it was a precious account that I'd raised for 5 years.
But a promise is a promise.
He charged money on Roblox without his dad knowing. He took his dad's phone and hit the payment button himself. Today he got caught red-handed. I definitely warned him and he was supposed to be banned from using his phone.
Last time when someone asked "who charged 20,000 won on Roblox?" the second kid denied it.
It really breaks my heart. Parenting is truly difficult. I'm scared of my second child's adolescence.

I came in thinking it was child abuse but after reading, it's actually solid and reasonable parenting with real consequences. They even gave one warning—can't blame them for following through on a second offense.
bro that's literally insane 😭 5 YEARS of progress just gone in seconds, parents really thought they did something
Messing with your parents' wallet? That's a beating waiting to happen.
Starts with a small theft, becomes a big one lol—heard a friend's kid dropped 10 million won. Shocked me.
My kid dropped 500k without telling me. I emailed the game company begging for a refund and got it, but now they're stuck with no allowance. Turns out all you need is knowing the unlock pattern—zero security.
Just put a password on purchases lol
Nah that doesn't work. I tried fingerprint but Android's stupid—Google Play lets you make purchases if you know the pattern or password. It's ridiculous.
Why not just block mobile payments altogether?
Set up biometric authentication and require it for every purchase. Switch it to mandatory auth every single time.
Did that—it got broken into anyway.
Mobile micro-transactions are already blocked. Now I have an empty prepaid card registered, so whenever they try to charge something, it just gets declined for insufficient funds.
Wait—are they gaming on the kid's phone or using the parent's phone?
The little brat installed games and made charges on MY phone while I was sleeping. They memorized my unlock pattern from watching over my shoulder.
If it's their own phone, yeah, blocking everything is a pain. Kid's pretty clever lmao
If the kid's that passionate about gaming, try pro gamer training regimen for just one week. They can skip school and see what real dedication looks like.
That's the thing about being a kid—you mess up, get scolded, and learn. If they can actually learn and improve, that's what matters.
If they deleted it out of pure rage, that's abuse. But THIS? They had a legitimate reason + gave advance warning, so it's appropriate punishment.
this is why i never tell my parents anything about my accounts, they'd never understand the time investment involved
That was the right call. It's not just about blocking the game—touching your wallet crosses a line. You gotta crack down, and nuking the account as a shock treatment is the right move.
nah this is actually harsh... it's his virtual property he built himself. grounding him would've worked just fine
lmaooo my parents threatened this so many times, finally someone actually did it 💀 can't decide if i'm horrified or impressed
Even so, maybe fake-delete it and restore it if there's real progress later... Obviously that's technically impossible, but treating them like an adult, I'd give them a couple chances. Saying deletion is the answer from the start just isn't it. Better to lock the account and give them a goal to unlock it.
Kids can secretly unlock anything anyway.
Crafty kids think 'they'll definitely give it back to me later'—I was like that. Then when they actually DON'T give it back, that's when reality hits and you actually start changing. If you want them to grow up sooner, you gotta hit 'em this hard to fix it.
It's a harsh punishment, but if it's a repeat offense and they already got warned, this is the right call—no excuses.
That's genuinely appropriate punishment. Touching someone's wallet? You deserve to get destroyed for it. And it's not even the first time lmao
That's a godly move by the parent.
I actually side with the parent on this one...
This is legit good parenting.
Let that slide and the kid ends up borrowing money everywhere and gambling—that's the end result.
You gotta face consequences for your actions, period lol
okay but did the son deserve it tho? if his grades were actually tanking then maybe harsh lessons hit different 🤔
