An 8-year-old boy named Liam accidentally ordered 69,000 lollipops, totaling $4,200, while using his mother Holly LaFavers' phone on Amazon. LaFavers, who adopted Liam in 2019 and noted that he has fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, found out about the order when checking her bank account. Despite the panic, Amazon was able to reverse the charge and provide a refund. Liamâs fixation on planning a carnival for his friends prompted the order, highlighting the challenges faced by children with developmental disorders in managing online purchases.
"The next day, LaFavers discovered the order, and while getting ready for church, I checked my bank balance and my account was overdrawn... I completely panicked."
"Liam hyperfixates on his areas of interest - which right now is throwing a carnival for his friends. It's a new skill for him to do that, so I'm not discouraging it."
