$10,000 in text messages?

I understand this guy's frustration. I also agree that huge changes in someone's bill should almost require that the account holder be notified, but his outrage is a little over the top.

Phone companies can't protect us from ourselves. We already have enough PC, for your own protection type devices that make the responsible people in this world angry every time they have to go through ten extra steps because some idiot didn't read the directions.

This case was simple...he knew his daughter was retarded, yet he allowed her the freedom of a phone. It's HIT responsibility to watch over her, not theirs. Unfortunately, in this case she's classified as an adult, although she's clearly developmentally disabled. Sorry buddy, not everyone can be trusted with a cell phone.

The honest lesson here? DON'T GIVE RETARDS PHONES, THEY WILL TREAT THEM AS ANY LITTLE KID WOULD.
