Prevent Child from Leaving the Family

Is there a way to disable a child from removing him or herself from the family?

My teen logged into his child account, removed himself from the family, and created a fake parent email, effectively losing all of the screen time limits we set for him, while we were none the wiser.

YES, I do see the bigger issue of instilling a sense of integrity in my son so that he will respect our screen time limits and resist hacking these restrictions, but perhaps Microsoft could make it a little less tempting for kids to do so by removing this
option from child users.

Creating a child account is useless when the child can remove him or herself from the family.

Please advise

Child Account

How do I prevent my child from just removing himself from the Family account on which I have set restrictions?

Help.

 

How to change my account from "child" to "adult"?

You would need to sign in at account.microsoft.com/family with the adult account and remove yourself from the family as a child. This will put you into your own family as an adult

Keep in mind if the date of birth on the account when it was originally setup has not reached its 18th birthday and you do this it will prevent you from signing into your console until you add it as a child to another adult family account.

 

Hey FortniteMom,

Child accounts are not allowed to remove themselves from the Family without having an adult account remove it for them.

Once the child account graduates to 18 years of age from the birthdate used when the account was created, then that account is no longer a child account but could still be a part of a Family and at that point the account could be removed by itself.

Remove a Family Member on Xbox One

Overview

The primary purpose of creating a family is to make it easier to manage parental controls and online safety for children. You can manage who is in your family from your Xbox One console, or from any Windows 10 device.

• Any adult in the family can remove another family member.
  Children and teens are prohibited from making this change.
• When a child is removed from the family, they will be unable to use the Xbox service until they have been added to another family. See
  
  Add a new member to your family.
• Adults removed from the family no longer have the ability to manage the child accounts in the family. However, they'll have full rights to their account and will be able to use home console sharing when signed in to the home console.
  

By any chance is the adult account in charge of the child account on the same Xbox the child uses? Adult accounts can remove child accounts under the Family straight from the Xbox if they are able to sign into the adult account.
