My Child Can Bypass Time Limits and Permissions on Google Family Link

I use the Google Family Link app to set daily screen time limits and manage app permissions on my child’s tablet. However, I recently discovered that my child is able to remove or bypass the time limit I set, which completely defeats the purpose of parental controls.

Even though I selected the option for the system to ask for my approval before any app is installed, the tablet still allows apps to be downloaded without my consent. I don’t understand how this is happening or why the controls aren’t being enforced as expected.

Google, this is a serious flaw in a tool that’s supposed to help parents manage screen time and protect their children. I’m asking for an immediate fix or explanation, and proper updates to make the controls effective and secure.
