I have 3 devices logged in to child accounts and "Ask to Buy" had been working but suddenly stopped. I updated all devices and have the same problem. Ask to Buy isn't working at all anymore. They can Ask, but I don't get the notifications, and then there's no way to get any apps. I had to turn it off completely and let my kids download without asking, but that's definitely not how I want it to be. It's that or no new apps at all.

Do they have their own account? If this is your account, then they have access to it, and you should make these a child's device: Help your Child Set Up an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


What not Info:

Receipt eMails do not come instantaneously to making a purchase. So, that is why you got no receipt of it.
