At the ripe old age of three, Sienna Leigh of Sydney, Australia is already a pro on the iPad. The tot spent hours a day happily playing with the device—until one day her mom found something wrong. After Sienna went to bed, Lisa Leigh checked her e-mails and found receipts from Apple’s App Store for apps she didn’t remember buying, one of them for $17. After doing a bit of checking, Sienna’s mom discovered the canny toddler had gone on a little shopping spree at the App Store, picking up some of her favorite games. How did she do it? After her mom had purchased one game for Sienna, she was able to buy more without entering a password. Sienna won’t be buying any more apps without permission, since her mother turned off the iPad’s Wi-Fi and enabled Restrictions. At least not until she discovers shopping apps and learns how to use mom’s credit cards
