A Kentucky family experienced a sweet surprise when their 7-year-old son, Liam, accidentally ordered a mountain of lollipops from Amazon. While playing on his mother Holly LaFavers' phone, Liam managed to purchase over 70,000 Dum-Dums, racking up a bill of more than $4,000.
"He was just playing games on my phone," LaFavers explained. "I didn't realize he was actually buying anything." The massive order arrived in multiple boxes, leaving the family stunned. LaFavers contacted Amazon to explain the situation and is working to return the majority of the lollipops. The family is now using this as a teaching moment about online purchases and the importance of parental controls. They also plan to donate some of the lollipops to local charities and organizations.
