Episode 3
It’s RTÉ Tots, Tweens and Teens Week so The Consumer Show looks at how much children can spend – without you knowing – playing apparently free games on smartphones and tablet computers.
Parents are increasingly finding themselves getting a shock as their children run up bills of hundreds of euros using game apps.

Tadhg Enright investigates.
