Getting the movie to stream was only the second time I'd touched it. I believe if a child spilled fluid on an iPad, that would damage it and void the warranty. I imagine the screen could break if it fell. It's her mother's iPad. I imagine that without supervision, the girl could have damaged her mother's files. I don't know if the OS has options for protection. The girl was so intent on the image in front of her nose that she seemed oblivious to her father when he read the captions. I've read that this is typical of small children with iPads and that, like addicts, the can lose interest in other pastimes. Some parents and psychologists think it may be more harmful than too much TV. http://www.cultofmac.com/275304/ipad-play-may-damage-infants-ability-use-building-blocks/ This article says nursery teachers have found that kids who have iPads have little or no manipulative skills.
