In my opinion, Apple isn't responsible to reimburse the parents.
If you link your credit card to your iTunes account you're inviting its use. You wouldn't give your credit card to your child and send him/her into a mall. This is no different.
I was hoping this was Apple settling the Lodsys thing.

Since the App Store first launched I can remember always getting an email receipt from Apple as soon as my credit/debit card got charged (usually twice a week) from App or Movie/TV Show purchases, I also monitor my bank account periodically. If my nephews ever purchased an App or In-App I would know right away, I wouldn't be blind sighted months later.
Not only that, but even before iOS 4.3, anytime I handed my nephews my iOS device I always signed out of the App Store to prevent this "accident", but my iPhone was always off limits, but if they came over to visit and I was at work they knew they could use either my iPad or iPod touch, but I always had a gift card registered to those devices, never a credit card.
I'm not a parent, but common sense should have been applied (don't hand your kids devices associated with your credit card), laziness to be proactive about the situation is not Apple's fault.

I wouldn't include Xbox with those. Unless they've made it so you can actually remove your credit card info hassle free? Even if you have an active Live account?It is not apples fault that parents gave their children access to their credit card. iTunes/ Xbox/ PayPal/ amazon etc do the same thing.
Swings and such would count as devices.because you didn't have devices..
sorry ol buddy, your past is in fact the past

Read - anyone who has claimed they had more than $30 will be able to get cash, not credit.If my youngster had fallen foul of these in-app purchases and racked up a bill of hundreds of dollars and Apple only offered me a credit note I'd be seriously pis5ed off!
How does NFC let someone buy something at Amazon?Let me rephrase. WHEN NFC become a standard and you have all your credit cards on your phone, and you hand that to your kid, and he accidentally buys all of the things you were looking at on your Amazon wish list or all of the things you put in your cart to decide on which ones to buy, i suppose that is going to be amazons fault too?
THIS is where I'd blame the parent[/COLOR]If my kid had an iOS device, I'd install the in-app purchase cracker and make all of them free so I don't have to deal with this.
3rd gen? They've 5th gen games out now (the B&W series, and 6th gen X&Y out soon on a 3DS near you!)The GameBoy (Color): famous for not having a backlight. Yep, still can't play in the dark
Other than that, I really like the GameBoy Color. I miss Nintendo when it was good
Oh wait, you're 10. Stop playing those hipster Pokémon 3rd gen games, n00b! (jk)
Presumably, you would of already made claims against this.What's to prevent anyone from claiming this? Wouldn't this apply to any in app purchase? How would Apple know if it was the parent or kid that made the purchase?
I'm in my 30s .. What were to trying to tell me?

Although I could see people lending their kid their phone and later finding out they bought lunch for half their class at jack in the box or 7-11.
How is this Apple's fault?

I went into the app to see how it was possible and found it to be very easy and deceptive. They used language to make it seem like the money was "play money" to be used in the game.
I think, this just proves one thing, weather you trust your kids, or don't..... never leave your iPhone that someone else can easily use it.
Parenting now a days is easier than ever and yet, parents keep finding the blame anywhere but themselves.
