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.

So, so, so disappointing Microsoft. What a joke that it is so easy for 13 year-old to opt out of this.
Shame on you.
Anyone find a fix? My 16 year old left out microsoft family today. Thank the Lord I caught it as I did not even see emailes on it. I recived a text witb a microsoft code that tipped me off. :(
I wish someone would start a comany that would keep track of all these changes. Alert parents what they need to adjust. Instead of me playing detective all the time. I spend way to much time on this. I miss books and paper!!
COPPA does not address or state that 13 or over can be unmanaged. That is an inappropriate inference by Microsoft. COPPA is explicitly to address under 13. That does not mean that 13 and older are completely capable of managing their own content and access.
