Bypassing apple screen time and app restrictions

My 13 year old son is able to bypass apple screen time and app restrictions. I’ve locked the time and location settings. This ison his MacBook Air. I control the settings from my phone.

How is he able to do this? VPN?

Create a Configuration Profile:

If you go about creating a profile, you can restrict what can be accessed and what can be performed. It’s a bit of a trick, but it gets the job done. Go Here: Create and Edit Configuration Profiles in Apple Configurator for Mac - Apple Support
