Detection
Setup or features differ from the documentation used in another country.
Fix (technical)
Confirm availability in the child’s country/region before relying on Family Link. [google-family-link-getting-started]
Fix (relational)
Avoid presenting a missing feature as a child’s fault; agree on the next-best safety practice.
Residual risk
Availability can change and does not by itself establish the intended configuration.
