You surely need to do something because youngsters love lights and knobs. They go crazy for it... they can't wait to get their hands (and drool) on it... seriously.
Once I was cleaning up a used Soundcraft Ghost console I just picked up before bringing it to the studio... had it on the floor in my house. A friend visited and brought her three year old. The very moment the child entered the house, he ran STRAIGHT for the Ghost and damn near jumped right on it, immediately started grabbing the knobs, etc... it was ridiculous. I couldn't keep him away from it. He was obsessed with it.
The way I see it, the only way to properly "child-proof" a studio is to simply keep children OUT of the studio. Add a good lock to the studio door... done. There are indeed way too many ways for a child to get hurt in a studio, too many to list... and you do not need any
extra drool in your console!
