Is there a setting that will switch off the child?

Just put your finger on the child and it will go all wiggly and you can delete it!Don't grow up. Its a trap!

Demand a chargeback from your bank/credit card company. If you didn't authorise the transaction the bank must refund you. They can't charge your card for transactions carried out by someone else.0

I'm not sure it works like that. If the OP did not authorise the transaction, the card must have been stolen. The bank will ask for a crime reference number in order to refund her money. In which case they will need to go to the police.0 -
Sorry, that's just rubbish. A card doesn't have to be stolen to be used online by someone else. I've had my cards used fraudulently online and there was never any "crime reference number" or anything. I didn't go to the police.I'm not sure it works like that.

The retailer hadn't carried out the proper checks, so the bank refunded me and they (presumably) charged back the retailer.0 -
No, your post was rubbish. Are you suggesting that the child used the card fraudulently? That's one devious kid there.One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0

I'm suggesting a transaction was carried out which the cardholder didn't authorise. It's irrelavent to the cardholder whether it was fraud or not, if they didn't authorise the transaction then the cardholder is not liable for it - unless they were grossly negligent (and the retailer/bank can prove this), and even then, if it's a credit card the cardholder is only liable for the first £50.halibut2209 wrote: »No, your post was rubbish.

If the retailer didn't at least ask for the CV2 number or use VBV etc then they really haven't got a leg to stand on.0 -
I'd class giving an iPad with settings to allow usage of your card (which he agreed to) to a child as negligent.One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0
