It might be that where you spend coins earned in the game to buy new ammo/weapons there's an extra button that lets the player seemingly get them without needing any coins. Little do they realise their parents are footing the bill.

I think a small child may well realise not what is happening, but every in-app purchase, no matter how it is represented in-game, triggers a standard system confirmation popup saying exactly what the cost would be.
