Total parenting fail = classic.....
It's not a parenting fail at all, that's a wretched thing to say. OP's been naive/ bit silly but it doesn't reflect on his parenting. Edited by mp3manager on Friday 25th July 16:16
Why stop there? The OP basically pushed his child out of a moving car onto the M25 - he's lucky he didn't cause a multi-car pile up really. Or worse.

Replace ipad with matches, replace matches with a knife, replace a knife with an axe.
OP's child is a serial killer now. Nice one OP, hope you're proud of yourself.

then surely its ok to expose your child to it, you know, because you don't understand it.

Because internet.
Kids benefit enormously from having access to this type of technology. My kids spend a lot of time on my ipad - mainly playing the maths and english games on educational websites - but also watching vidoes and playing less educational games.
My daughter has taken leaps and bounds in combating her dyslexia because she has access to technology like this - and kids play games.
My brother was glued to his Amstrad CPC464 back in the day - hours, days, weeks on end. He's about the most socially well adjusted and well balanced bloke I know.
Oh and you wouldn't believe how quickly kids learn how to access this type of stuff - and quite frankly yes - having to constantly put in passwords and codes is a PITA so you tell them.
I wouldn't give my kids my Itunes password (5 & 7) but I'm not about to gloat at preach at those that do.
The level of sanctimonious knobs on this site these days really is something else.
Thanks mate. I was going to type a similar reply but now I just need a +1 Kids benefit enormously from having access to this type of technology.

OP please ignore the trolls. You got caught out but I'm sure you won't let it happen again.
On the iPad, go into settings/restrictions. Set a pin code and then restrict downloads, in app, safari etc. good luck

Good work understanding the internet there:
Considering the OP admitted he's been foolish from the very start of this thread; how about we stop discussing how pixelpeeper is the best parent ever and get back to the topic at hand.

Completely our fault for not switching it off and restricting what he could do, before anybody thinks I'm suggesting otherwise or trying to place blame elsewhere.

Here's an idea.
Get the kid a bike or some football boots. Then it won't be a pathetic introvert with no idea how to socialise and an utter incomprehension of meaningful relationships.
I have never understood giving kids that age technology. Usually stems from an unwillingness to engage with it themselves so they'd rather palm it off onto anything else.

Given the number of times in app purchases by Children have been in the press Apple should have taken steps to avoid these situations occurring. Password required for every purchase as default and monthly spending Caps should be applied to accounts. While the OP is very open that an error has happened I feel Apple should have a duty of care.
I am sure there have been a number of large purchases wiped by Apple. If you can find these it forms a basis if you want to fight it.
Good luck

They have repeatedly. They've implemented changes to completely lock down their devices and still people don't listen and remain blissfully ignorant and keep handing these devices they have no knowledge to a small child with zero idea of money.I am sure there have been a number of large purchases wiped by Apple.

Apple need to make a stand and say "no more", this is nothing but ignorant parents letting their children loose. People like the op are also the same reason the ISPs were forced to lock down the internet with filters turned on by default "I refuse to understand technology so big faceless companies should be forced to protect my children". Op, use this as a life lesson that you're not ready to give devices you don't understand to small children. Sit down with your child, tell him the truth about exactly what happened, tell him about money and tell him about the bad things that he can find on such devices. Learn the devices together and stop being ignorant about technology.
