Kota Kinabalu: A pair of parents in China were reportedly left devastated after their 13-year-old daughter left them nearly penniless by spending almost all of their savings worth 449,500 yuan (RM290,748.42) on mobile games within four months.

The extravagant spending happened on a family living in Henan province, China, social news site WeirdKaya reported.

The girl’s mother surnamed Wang said she was unaware of her daughter spending her hard-earned money on mobile games.

It wasn’t until one of her daughter’s teachers approached Wang and expressed concern after seeing her spending way too much time on her phone did Wang look into the matter.

When she did, she was shocked to find that a mere 0.05 yuan (RM0.32) was left in her bank account.
