Never leave your 2-year-old alone with your iPhone – a lesson learned too late for one mom.

According to The Straights Time, a mother in China says she left her child with her iPhone so he could watch educational videos. Her son some how activated the iPhone’s security system, extending the amount of time the phone is locked for each wrong passcode.

When she got her phone back from the boy, she discovered her phone had been disable for 25 MILLION minutes, or a total of 47 YEARS!

When she took the phone to the Apple store in Shanghai for help the technician explained that she could either wait 47 years for the phone to unlock, or they could reboot the entire device, erasing all of the phone’s data.

“I couldn’t really wait for 47 years and tell my grandchild it was your father’s mistake,” the mother said.
