I did not ask for parenting advice. BTW, who teaches their kid's to destroy expensive stuff? I think it's common knowledge that you would tell your kid's to be careful, but does that always happen? Of-course you could always have the most well behaved (and careful!) children on the face of the Earth. More times then not, that will not be the case for many people. It's like handing the keys to your car to a 16 year old. The Child will tell you she will be careful, but sometimes stuff just happens. Kid's tend to break stuff. Chances increase if more children are handling one iPad.

She is supervised with it as it has internet access.Quote:

This talk of parents not wanting to let their kids play with their iPads is kind of humorous. My nephew bought two iPhones when they first came out. When Apple gave them all rebates after dropping the price, he bought an iPod Touch for his Dad. When Dad's Touch got stolen, he bought an iPhone 3G and gave the original iPhone to his Dad. Seems kind of backwards, doesn't it.
