One day her she couldn't get in to the phone as the password wasn;t recognised, but her daughter said that she changed it as she thought someone saw it and told her what it was, and this was accepted.

At the end of the day parents pay for it so they can take it away.

Even my router allows me to turn of the internet by device/or times.

Perhaps companies should make it simpler for parents.
Your sister had the right idea. In an ideal world all parents would do the same but, unfortunately, they don't and their children need to be protected from paedophiles scammers, trolls etc too.
