​

It is known that the boy mentioned above used his mother’s bank card to donate to streamers such as Tfue, Gorb, Ewokttv, Kurt Benkert of the Atlanta Falcons football team and Meyers Leonard. The unnamed mother said she had a lot of trouble getting her money back, no one cared about her request, she couldn’t contact anyone on Twitch. She filled out an online help form sent to Twitch, emailed Twitch CEO Emmett Shear and the company’s legal team. Amazon but did not receive any response.

Luckily for this mom, when she shared the story on Reddit, she was advised to contact the payment service company that works with Twitch, Xwola. Through Xwola’s live chat function, she was able to reclaim her precious savings on the condition that the account be permanently locked to prevent future unauthorized spending.

This teenage boy said he regrets his actions and is about to go to counseling. Although he will still be able to play the game, but only for 1 hour/day, moreover, he will be supervised by his parents and adults.
