lol.. One of the reasons why people like and trust Apple is because it is supposed to be/feel safe. There should always be a password when purchasing or at lease incorporate the finger scan to your purchase but perhaps Apple would be missing out on their 30% commission off sale.
Some people complain about irresponsible parents but I guess those people always have their 100% attention and eyes to what their kids are doing.. congrats lol. Someday you will be part of an outrageous bill from a shady app developer or corporate and maybe then you will have a different opinion.

Been there, done that as far as kids racking up a large bill. So, I've learned my lesson as far as that goes.
 
Here's a wild idea -- how about you don't hand your child a piece of technology without knowing how the device works, or let your child play a game without first trying it yourself and making sure it's 1.) Age appropriate and 2.) Doesn't have features that could get the kid into trouble.

Of course, that would be called "Parenting" and that's hard. Much easier to whine to Uncle Sam and have the federal government take care of things for you.
An even "wilder" idea might be to read the thread and see how many times this kind of "idea" has already been attempted to be brought up and has been essentially shot down.
