Windows 10: Microsoft Family - Child can remove themselves from the family

I have setup Microsoft Family with my children added as child accounts.

My children can login to their accounts at family.microsoft.com and simply click the link "Leave family group" and they are removed from the group and from any screen time limits etc.


This seems like a serious issue as it negates the point of setting any restrictions if it is this easy to circumvent them.


Please advise if there are additional settings required to prevent children from removing themselves from the family group.


I've checked the DOB for each child and that is correct.
