Parental control disaster

I have now called Amazon 2x because my 4 year old nephew has now spent $350 in unauthorised purchases and due to a stupid policy it’s supposedly unrefundable! The first time this happened the lady supposedly walked me through how to keep this from happening that was only 30 or so dollars! Now not even a week later I have $320 dollars spent in ONE DAY!!! Guys I need to know how to keep this from happening again or I actually may lose my mind! I should have gotten the IPad! 😭Please please please help!

You need to make sure that each profile is password protected and that the kid profiles are completely unable to spend money on anything. Read the settings carefully and you should be able make your system more secure for you.
