Be careful with your passwords

And be especially careful giving account passwords to your kids. It turns out that a 5 year-old boy in the UK, after his father gave him his App Store password, made $2550 of in-app purchases in five minutes.

Apple has provided a refund. And note that in iOS, you can launch the Settings app, go to General, then Restrictions and turn off in-app purchases.
