Microsoft Family - Child can remove themselves from the family

I have setup Microsoft Family with my children added as child accounts.

My children can login to their accounts at family.microsoft.com and simply click the link "Leave family group" and they are removed from the group and from any screen time limits etc.

This seems like a serious issue as it negates the point of setting any restrictions if it is this easy to circumvent them.

Please advise if there are additional settings required to prevent children from removing themselves from the family group.

I've checked the DOB for each child and that is correct.

    Microsoft has to follow this act since it is pretty much the law, if they don't, then Microsoft is pretty much screwed.

    Hi there,

    Yes, I have this problem. However, is there an audit trail to show I have this problerm?

    Yesterday I refused a minecraft extension request. Today the account is gone. There was no message that child had left. Is there an audit trail?

    It seems like that the child accounts have way more options once they are 13, as all trouble I have seen are for children over and not under 13.
