- seems there is no way to prevent a child's iCloud /family sharing account from locking anyone else's phone.
Does anyone know a way to fix this?
Not sure what you mean? If the child has their own iCloud account, then having Family Sharing does not give them access to your device. Can you provide more info?

No - they CAN put a parents phone in Lost Mode - even per Apple's website.
Seems Apple needs to an option to keep this from being possible. Look here:
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Find everybody’s devices.
Finding your family’s lost devices is even easier now that everyone can help. With Family Sharing and Find My iPhone, any family member can help locate another member’s missing device. Their devices appear in a single list in the Find My iPhone app on iCloud.com on any Mac or Windows computer, or on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. So it’s easier than ever to track down a misplaced or stolen iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
In my own experience, I logged into my daughters iCloud account and just now locked my Wife's phone (she didn't like that...)
Wow - agreed - that is a problem. Your only option at this point would be to send your feedback to Apple about this:
Hope you are not in too much trouble with your wife 😐....
Best of luck, and thanks for the education! 🙂

Done - submitted. Thank you.

With family sharing, how can I keep my kid from locking my iPhone "as a joke"
