Devastated father says his 9-year-old son spent $118,000 on YouTube ad campaigns for his Minecraft channel using a company credit card — bill racked up in just three weeks was supposed to be one $20 p

A father of a boy named Dave said his 9-year-old son spent $118,000 in three weeks on YouTube ad campaigns for the channel Mighty Mike Plays using a corporate card saved in a Google account. The boy interpreted the $20 ad budget as a one-time payment, not a limit, and created his own campaigns.

• Son launched 'Mighty Mike', 'Epic Roblox', and Minecraft gameplay campaigns for $118,000 in three weeks
• Three promoted videos each gained about 200,000 views
• The card was saved in the father's Google account and used to buy Robux
• Google Ads prohibits accounts under 18, but the account belonged to the father
