Detection
Device vanishes from Family Link active device list; Google services stop syncing.
Fix (technical)
In Android Settings, navigate to Passwords & accounts (DE: Passwörter und Konten). Removing account requires Parent Access Code or parent password verification. Additionally, enable „Require parent approval for adding/removing accounts„ in Family Link11.
Fix (relational)
Discuss responsibility regarding device management and household media agreements.
Residual risk
Resetting device to factory defaults completely strips account setup.
