Mom left 6-yr-old unattended with her phone — next day, she found Amazon deliverer unloading box after box on her doorstep

Kids become tech-savvy at younger ages these days. It's not uncommon to see young kids being experts at surfing through various websites and apps. However, without proper guidance, they might end up causing a blunder. That was the case with 6-year-old Katelyn Lunt who caused a whole lot of chaos after her online shopping spree, as per ABC News. In 2018, the first-grader from Utah used her mother's Amazon account to buy herself $350 worth of toys and video games. According to Good Morning America, Lunt's mother Catherine was stunned to see Amazon delivery trucks pulling up in front of their home. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤ

"Our family came home and the truck pulls up and all of these boxes are being pulled out of the truck," Catherine, who had no idea about Lunt's online splurge, told the news outlet. Then the real story unfolded. Catherine had earlier told Lunt that she could order one Barbie doll as a prize for doing extra chores at home. But the little girl had something else in her mind. She ended up adding way more stuff to the online shopping cart. While her mom was tracking some other orders on the Amazon app, she saw the other items that her daughter had slyly ordered. She tried to cancel the orders but it was too late. Lunt's orders were already shipped. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤ

"They just started unloading box after box after box," Lunt's older cousin, Ria Diyaolu, recalled to BuzzFeed News. "Her mom went on her Amazon account and saw three pages of things she had ordered. She knew exactly what she was doing when she did it. I was so surprised that a 6-year-old knew how to do one-click, next-day shipping. She did not get grounded but she does not have access to the internet for a month." Catherine learned the hard way that leaving her phone unattended with her daughter was a huge mistake. Lunt was punished for sure but in an educational way.  ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ 

Catherine took this opportunity to teach her daughter a positive lesson. Instead of piling up all the toys in their home, the Lunt family decided to donate the toys to kids at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. CBS Philadelphia's official YouTube page showed some of the pictures and footage of Lunt and her mother after the shopping error she made. According to the news channel, Catherine also admitted that she should have been way more vigilant while handing over her phone with unrestricted internet access to her young daughter. She also wanted other parents to know about security controls available on the phone so they could avoid ending up in a situation like hers.  ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
