iOS Family Sharing Screen Time overridden by workaround on device

As a parent, I have screen time enabled for my children's devices. Recently one of my children has discovered how to override the family screen time settings by manually resetting the device screen time passcode. I become aware of the override when I look at the screen time metrics screen(s) and see no data reported.

Is this a bug / UX issue that someone is looking into addressing? If not, please consider adding it to the queue. It makes an important feature much less useful.

You can only change the Screen Time passcode if you know the current passcode. Change it to something they don't know and they won't be able to change it.
