Some Parents let their kids use their iPad or iPhone for playing games or for studying. iPad is a great companion when it comes to education. Some parents even give their kids iPad as a birthday gift.
Many parents gave the Apple ID with credit card inside that iPad, as a gift, so that their kids can download applications or games by themselves. But then, the parents started to complain about it. Some complained about their credit card bill become overflowed, because their kids purchased things on the games they played or in-app purchase. The others were worried their kids will browse some bad contents on safari, and so on.
