對你來說，友誼是什麼？
是相聚？
是陪伴？
還是患難與共？
而對於一個印度男孩來說，友誼就是“有錢要和朋友一起花。”
據《印度時報》報道，印度中央邦賈巴爾普爾市的一名10年級男孩決定在“友誼節”給他的朋友們送些不同尋常的“禮物”。他從自己父親的保險櫃中拿了460萬盧布（約合人民幣45萬元）。 男孩將其中150萬現金贈送給了一個死黨，30萬現金給了一個幫他做家庭作業的朋友。剩下的錢男孩買了手機、首飾等貴重物品送給同班同學。
男孩父親在發現鉅款“不翼而飛”之後報警。隨後男孩承認是自己拿走了錢。因涉及人員均為未成年人，警方還未正式立案。截至目前，警方已追回其中150萬盧布，剩餘錢款仍在追索中。
As the famous saying goes: “A father is a treasure, a brother is a comfort, but a friend is both.”
However, an Indian teen stole his father’s treasure and donated it to his classmates to prove the preciousness of his friendship.
According to the report by the Times of India, the Class Ten boy from Jabalpur, India, stole about 4.6 million rupees (about 450,000 yuan) from his father’s safety box on Friendship Day. He donated 1.5 million rupees in cash to one of his friends and gave 300,000 to another who had done homework for him. The boy used the rest of the money to buy expensive mobile phones, bracelets and other gifts for his classmates.
After the money was found missing, the boy’s father approached the police. Seeing how serious the situation was, the boy then confessed to stealing the money. The police have recovered 1.5 million rupees so far and are trying to get the rest.
其實“熊孩子”隨意揮霍父母存款事件並非首次發生。
It is not the first time that a child has stolen a large amount of money from parents. Similar cases have hit headlines in recent years.

2016年，一個11歲的深圳男孩將自己的QQ賬號和媽媽的銀行卡賬號綁定，用於購買遊戲裝備。短短一月時間便刷掉了10萬元；今年4月，一個12歲的澳大利亞男孩偷用父母信用卡為自己安排了一次巴厘島“豪華之旅”。還有一位更加“藝高人膽大”的澳大利亞“熊孩子”：今年六月，一名13歲的男孩用手機拍了父親銀行賬號詳細信息，隨後在線上賭博網站上以父親名義開設了一個賬號，“壕擲”10.6萬澳元（約合人民幣53萬元）用於線上賭球、賭馬。
A 12-year-old Australian boy stole his parents’ credit card and took a flight alone to Bali
In 2016, an 11-year-old boy in Shenzhen, China, stole his mother's credit card and linked it to his online video game profile. The boy spent 100,000 yuan (about 15,300 US dollars) on games in just one month. In April 2018, a 12-year-old Australian boy stole his parents’ credit card and took a flight alone to Bali, Indonesia. He spent four nights living a life of luxury at an expensive hotel.
In June 2018, another Australian, a 13-year-old boy, used his phone to take pictures of his father’s credit cards and set up an online gambling account. The teen placed hundreds of bets on football and horseracing worth a total amount of 106,000 Australian dollars (about 530,000 yuan).
如何防範“熊孩子”非理性消費？
How to prevent children from lavishing money?
各方加強監管
隨著手機移動支付的發展普及，未成年人通過手機應用進行非理性消費的案例頻繁發生。不少人建議應用開發商為手機應用添加支付提醒功能，使家長能在第一時間收到消費信息。今年7月，騰訊公司便推出了一項“未成年人遊戲消費提醒”服務， 對於旗下游戲中疑似未成年人的高額消費，騰訊將嘗試主動介入。此外，不少人也建議銀行等金融機構加強轉賬人年齡審核，以此防範未成年人盜刷父母銀行卡。
With the rapid development of mobile payments, app developers have been advised to add notification so parents can monitor what their children pay for online. For example, China’s tech giant Tecent in June announced that it will alert parents when their children spend excessively on games. Many people also say that banks and other financial organizations should increase supervision on transfers and payments carried out by teenagers.
樹立正確金錢觀
除了加強監管，父母也應該教育子女樹立正確的金錢觀和消費觀，讓孩子瞭解錢的價值，不能隨意揮霍。
However, parents should teach their children about financial responsibility as well. Children should be taught to understand the value of money and understand how and why it gets spent. If parents are going to give their children access to payment mechanisms, they should also teach them money management skills, specifically when, how much and under what circumstances a credit card can be used.
