You aren't getting that off, never in a million years, that's why it's called permanently marker as it permanently marks porous surfaces. Anything nasty enough to soak it out will damage the material even more or just dilute and spread the ink even further.
Get it recovered and make thescrote darling child pay for it.

I ask this on a regular basis, usually accompanied by " why do people bother with dogs" .
We can't even say that the dogs don't answer back! They do only without the attitude of a teenager!

It depends how the leather has been treated. If it's a nice, soft settee then it's likely to still be porous, and you're stuffed. The child-friendly settees have the leather shaved smooth, a grain imprint pressed into it, and then they're coated and made pretty waterproof. Ours is like this and is very resistant.

This is the closest anybody has come to understanding the problem. Expensive leather or hide furniture is just dyed and so will absorb greasy liquids, which will stain it forever with dark blobs.
Cheaper leather is split into several layers, textured then painted. You can repaint it with ordinary car paint in a spray can if you can get the right colour. In the world of car restoration this simple process is called connolisation and you pay someone a lot of money to do it because it is surrounded with a mystique.
Paraffin stains will dry out eventually taking the smell with them.

FWIW, Lisa, a nit comb is a useful bit of kit for getting the small bits of crisps out
