I think if I was caught like this, the last thing I'd want to do is talk to the media about it. Not even under a pseudonym. But this story is probably not here to make Google feel bad and return some of the money. This is a reminder for parents everywhere to review payment and parental settings on anything their kids use online. You can be smug enough to say my 8yo doesn't stream on Twitch or whatever because why tf would you let them anyway. But you're deleting the credit card off of Google Play because you forgot it was there because parenting makes you forgetful at times.

Dad wants to punish the son and to show him that actions have consequences...
Dad also records a viral video for that chanel and mentions that the chanel is probably not gone for long........
No way I'd ever be paying that.
How would you get around that? That amount of money is most certainly take-you-to-court worthy.

Yeah that's why I only put virtual card number with a short expiration date and a locked amount.
