How To Leave an Xbox family as a Child?

That's correct as they are child accounts and you mentioned they haven't been added to the family, in the account that manage to enter the privacy settings leave the current family even if there no one else in that family, after this log out of the family site and restart the browser

Once done with that create the family again, with that account being the organizer, and add the child accounts, remember that child accounts can't be organizer they must be added as childs, and check each account on the family site prior to this to verify that they aren't linked to other families

A child account can't leave a Microsoft family until he becomes an adult, he needs to have access to the family organizer account

"If I follow this correctly I setup an adult account and they would create a child Microsoft account that I would add. It seems like that child account would follow them including the Xbox child account converting it to an adult account which would keep all their Microsoft account email Xbox created with the child account"

Yes that is correct. That's the best way to do it. Once they become 18, the accounts can leave the family and have all their saves and progress intact.

Figured out a solution. Just log into the child account and leave the family. Can close this topic.
