Can my son turn off the parental controls without my permission?

My son is under my family account on iPhone, he is 10. I had screen time content restrictions set up and he went in and turned them off. Is that possible without the screen time passcode?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

He shouldn’t be able to without the screen time password. If he has access to your iCloud account or device it’s possible he could be changing it from your account/device.
