There is no need to set up individual merchant accounts for young children. Everyone I know has a family account that they buy stuff for their young children with. Once the kids have grown up, then you might want to split things into individual accounts. Just like the OP does now.
It's like dividing up property in a divorce. Just because a husband bought his wife a nice dress in the past - on his credit card account - does not mean that the dress is tied to him in a divorce. The dress should go to the wife. If the dress were DRM'ed, the husband would end up with that in his possession, even though both parties agreed that it was never his, he didn't want it, and the wife did.

Oh, good lord. First of all, if your disagreement is with licensing restrictions, then say so. Don’t dress is up in “DRM is bad” which is irrelevant. DRM is just an imperfect means to try to enforce licensing restrictions.
As for the books being for the daughter, they were bought on the parent’s account. Again, if your beef is with licensing and restricting books to the original purchaser, say so. The reality is that the books are tied to the parent. If you can’t live with that, buy paper. Or use some foresight upfront.
No one here is allowed to decide some copyright violations are licit and then promote them and give instructions for achieving them. Think what you will and act accordingly, but refrain from sharing in this forum.
Finally, couldn’t you have come up with an analogy (which doesn’t apply, but I won’t even bother) that wasn’t such sexist drivel?
