A Gold Coast woman has lost custody of her children and been convicted of assault after smacking her son on the bottom with a spoon because he spent $600 on video games.

The court heard the child had used the unemployed single mum’s credit card to make $600 in purchases on video games in March.

The prosecution said she confiscated the gaming console before grabbing her son and hitting him on the backside with a plastic spoon she’d retrieved from the kitchen.

The boy then kicked several holes in a wall.

When I was a kid I got my ass spanked every time I was on my bullshit and now parents getting booked for the same

Was she in the wrong? Do you agree with the verdict?

My parents should be grateful af they didn't raise a snitch😂

What we should be talking about is predatory mini-transactions in mobile games

The boy then kicked several holes in a wall.

Europe banned that s*** because of Fifa games. It became legally recognized as gambling.
