Why this matters:How to recognise this workaround on your side, and what closes it on your side — without telling you how to do the workaround.
Detection
The child is in Family Sharing, but Content & Privacy Restrictions / Beschränkungen is off or unavailable in the child’s Screen Time settings.
Fix (technical)
EN: Settings → Screen Time → child under Family → Content & Privacy Restrictions; DE: Einstellungen → Bildschirmzeit → child under Familie → Beschränkungen. [apple-parental-controls; apple-parental-controls-de]
Fix (relational)
Explain which kinds of content and purchases are being limited and schedule a review as the child matures.
Residual risk
This applies only to the configured Apple child account and device context.
