My 3-year-old made a $734.49 Xbox purchase

No, but his parents should really look down that WiFi password so he can't post until after he's done is chores and homework.
Can you add password in XBL to verify your purchase? I have added a password prior to purchase on my PS4. It even stops me from making impulse purchases lol.

Apologies for the bump. I wanted to point out that I haven't received a refund yet.
On May 17th the Xbox support phone support told me to submit a refund request online. On May 19th they responded with the following:
"At your request, the order placed on May 16, 2019 is undergoing a deeper investigation with our Mixer team. You should see an update in your email in about 2 or 3 business days."
I haven't heard back since. I responded to the email asking for an update on 24th and 28th. No reply.
What else should I do?

I'd imagine they are awaiting a response to check this currency hasn't all been used and that it's not all been dumped on some wannabe streamer's account. There is a lot of fraud for that kind of stuff
$734 puts one's livelyhood at serious risk. You can make another Xbox Live account if worse comes to worse
A ban also kills access to any digital purchases they had made on that account.
LOL, my Mom was soooo reluctant to let me hook up the NES to the living room TV back in the day for this reason.
I was playing games already at 3 and knew how to turn on the console and swap out games and everything.
Don't underestimate 3 year olds.
"Allowed to play by myself".
If given the opportunity I'd go and play myself.
Thankfully, in app purchases weren't a thing back then.
