Six-year-old Mason Stonehouse was playing on his dad’s phone before bedtime and spent about $1,000 on Grubhub orders.
The food started coming to the Chesterfield Township family’s home near Detroit around 9 pm Saturday night. And it kept coming.

“Mason’s parents said it will take some time before he gets his phone privileges back.”
It finally clicked with him that he let his son use his phone earlier that night, telling the TV station that Mason was “going to town” with the Grubhub app.
Mason ordered basically every food that ever existed, including shrimp, salads, shawarma, chicken pita wraps, sandwiches, chili cheese fries and multiple orders of ice cream.
So much food was ordered that Keith’s bank sent him a fraud alert declining a $400 order of pizza.
His father tried calling the restaurants to stop the orders once he figured out what had happened, but they told him to contact Grubhub …
