Parental control, kid is able to block his parents

Hello, I've set up parental controls on my 9-year-old son's iPhone through a family account.


The problem is that the Telephone app gives him the option to block the contact numbers and stop sharing his location, even with his parents ( not the Contacts app, but from the Telephone one -> Contacts)


Is there a solution?


On my iPhone:

  • I have set the communication restrictions
  • I can edit this contacts and I have added only the parents contacts ( both iCloud, parents in the family members), just to to test this
  • I have set to prevent him from editing his contacts


On my kid's iPhone:

  • he can open the Telephone app
  • open the contacts tab, where only the 2 parents contact show
  • he can block the numbers and stop sharing the location


Thank you very much.
