Sadly though, they're often not. They give their kids a £500-£700 phone without batting an eyelid, then let them do anything they want on it, without any though of consequence and whinge, and blame "someone else" when the kids inevitably runs up a bill of £1,000's.
Than they go squealing to the papers and the big company, e.g. Apple/Google will possibly help wipe the debt, and the parent and the kid never learns from the experience.
