Nooooooo bummer! Some people panic so easily. Can she use something else until you can afford a new one? Could be a good way to show her the consequences of actions like that without it affecting her too badly?

I've got an old Acer hanging around that I can fiddle with and install windows 11 on, which she needs for school, but the screen's a lot smaller than she's used to. Why they insist on children so young (9) having that kind of tech at that age I don't know. They're impulsive and still learning to take care of things.
