Dad turns son into police for £3,700 (USD $5,615.31) iTunes bill
Policeman turns in son who ran £3,700 iPad bill
A policeman turned in his own teenage son for fraud in a bid to escape a £3,700 bill on his iPad, which the teenager had ran up by mistake.
Doug Crossan, 48, was taken by surprise when his credit card company rang to tell him of the large balance outstanding, which he believed he had paid off six months ago.
His son Cameron, 13, had "innocently" purchased apps over three months from iTunes, the download selling arm of Apple, that had cost as much as £77.98 each.

Whoever said "One born every minute" has never seen an in-app purchase. Any wonder why I think they're the spawn of the devil?
