I Purchase a app for family sharing and when my son tries to download it he gets a "ask parent for permission", he clicks the link, but I never see the request to allow the download. Is there a special place I need to go to accept his requests?
iPod touch, iOS 8.1.2
If you swipe down from the top of your iPhone or iPod touch you will get a screen that shows you "Today" / "Notifications". Tap notifications to see request for download.

Greetings Turbo68,
It sounds as if you are using Family Sharing and your son is part of your family group, and you have "Ask to buy" enabled for him, is that correct?
This article tells you how to allow or decline a download or purchase for your son -
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
In particular see the section titled Make or decline a purchase.
It is important to note that "If a family member downloads a previous purchase again, downloads a shared purchase, installs an update, or uses a redemption code in the store, the organizer won't get a notification."
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L
So.......where does the permission ASK go?
Exactly, this post did not answer the question!
I Have exactly the same problem!!!!
Thanks. You answered the question succinctly.
Where does the ask permission get sent when a child is trying to download an app?
