Child account disabled

I decided to make a child account linked to my own Gmail account. I mostly use a different provided for email, but I have this Gmail account for access to the play store on my android device. I made this child account for my newborn son - but I'm the only person who knows the password for this, he is obviously far too young to access it. The goal was to have family members send photos and messages to it, so that we would create an online 'scrapbook' of his childhood, and then I would share the password with him when he is much older.

However about a week later, I have found that Google has disabled the child account. Any ideas why this might be? I don't believe using a Gmail account in this way is against terms and conditions? I have submitted an appeal, but does anyone know how likely it is that this will be successful?
