Child Overriding Parental Controls?
Every time I change the content restriction settings on my child’s device to limit adult content, it switches back to allow explicit content almost instantly. How do I prevent this from happening?

Hey GJW09,
Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities. To help rule out the passcode being known, have you tried changing that to see if the settings you turn on stay as expected? Just in case, here's how to reset it: If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support
How to reset the Screen Time passcode for your child's device
If you’re using Family Sharing to manage a child’s account, passcode reset options won’t be available on their device. Use the following steps on the family organizer's device to reset the Screen Time passcode for your child.
On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. On the family organizer's device, go to Settings > Screen Time.
2. Scroll down and choose a child’s name under Family.
3. Tap Change Screen Time Passcode, then tap Change Screen Time Passcode again. You might be asked to authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
4. Enter a new Screen Time passcode, then enter it again to confirm.
Let us know what you find.
Take care!
