I would suggest putting the iPad in airplane mode and leaving it there. Not having Internet access does admittedly keep the app from improving, but it also prevents changes to the device. As the parents were considering spending $7,000, this seems like a small price for the time being to ensure their daughter continues to be able to use the app.
Temporary solution? B
Oh, and not just airplane mode, but making sure Wifi isn't ever turned on.
