More than one in six children (17%) as young as six years old have donated money to online streamers – but just 16% ask their parent's permission “every time” they do so, according to research.
A tenth of parents (11%) have discovered that their youngsters have been giving money to content creators and influencers without parental knowledge or consent.
And nearly a quarter of children (23%), aged six to 16 years old, who donate to streaming platforms, do so on a daily basis, while three in ten (31%) spend money like this every week.
