To Avoid this simply do not give your kids your phone. If they are not exposed to this then they wont want it as they will have no idea what they can see on a phone. Give them a book instead.

Why do parents give access to children so young??? Not only phones but Ipads and electronic games. There has been so many warnings about little ones holding their heads down for too long which will result in neck and shoulder pain in the future. Blue screens also damage your eyes and most children hold screens very close to their face too

Oh its funny and shocking at the same time. Never happened to me thankfully

At least she recognises her own responsibility in this.

My child could never order anything on my behalf as my credit card details are NEVER saved online. I can’t believe this happens so often and the lack of awareness by parents. It’s why your toddler should never be allowed to play with your phone. There are so many toy phone options available.

Another classic example of people dumb enough to let kids use phones

And this is why phones are not a toy!

I don’t have my phone set up so I can buy online. I don’t have small children and I’d never let them play with my phone anyway. So glad she didn’t go on a really huge spending spree.

Definitely could have been worse she could have bought heaps of things. Luckily I don’t have mine set up like this so haven’t experienced it.

She needs to review her security setup if anyone can purchase off her computer!

Really?? Why save your credit card details, why leave a shopping website open and why, oh why, let your children (especially that young) play with your phone ….

She really has nobody to blame but herself. She’s lucky thats all her kid did.

This is going to become more and more of an issue with how technology is taking over.

oh dear that is a bit of an oops

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t have your credit card or PayPal details secured . It’s just logic to do so.

haha oops! Nice couch though, could have been worse!

don’t have your credit card details/paypal details stored on your phone! Or stop letting small children use your devices unsupervised

At least it’s a nice couch lol

My kids haven’t brought anything. I log out of any online shops and I never save my bank details to anything.
It’s an easily mistake to be made on a child’s behalf but a costly one for the parent.

So far, so good (fingers crossed lol) that my children haven’t purchased something accidentally but I also don’t store my credit card details on my phone.
