It is reported that Ms. Huang from Chongqing took her 11-year-old son to the police on August 8 and claimed that her son spent nearly 20,000 yuan playing games, and the money was life-saving money for surgery for her grandfather who had cancer.

According to Ms. Huang, since her father was hospitalized for surgery, he did not have much time to take care of his son. In addition, it was during the summer vacation, so she enrolled her 11-year-old son in many online courses to prevent him from being bored and wanting to play games.

After the incident, Ms. Huang also contacted the game platform, hoping to recover some losses. "The (game platform) official said that I did not have enough evidence to prove that the child was playing games during this period. I asked him what kind of proof he needed. Can a video be enough? He said that your single video can only prove that this amount was consumed by him (the child), and other (money) cannot be proved (also consumed by the child)!
