I'm no legal expeft, but offhand, I'd say the child didn't do any research or contacting on her own.

I'm not personally affected, to my knowledge, by whatever happens in this matter, but the mother having admitted to not reading the fine print, and having stated that she thought it would be "a cool thing" limit her.

Seemingly, legal experts disagree. If the bank's position is "precarious", maybe they'll lose a court decision. It's undecided.

Certainly, there are subjects where my opinions might have greater value. I appreciate yours.
