A Massachusetts mom discovered her 5-year-old daughter had made over $3,000 in toy purchases on her Amazon account, including electric dirt bikes, cowboy boots, and a ride-on toy Jeep. The mom turned the incident into a teachable moment, emphasizing the value of money and earning something instead of punishing her daughter for the purchases. She also advised other parents to be proactive about watching their children's online activity and to teach the value of money. All the unexpected purchases have been canceled or are in the process of getting returned.
