How can I delete fake Apple IDs our kids make to get around parental restrictions

We restrict our kids Apple Id accounts and to get around this they just make up Apple IDs with different emails on their own. Sneaky kids yeah go figure. Anyway when we find out about this how can we delete them? It seems like Apple could care less and as long as the kid can come up with a new email address they just make up a new apple id put in a fake birthdate and can do whatever they want without worrying about parental controls on the Apple Ids that we monitor.

I believe there 1.) should be some sort of ability to verify a birthday otherwise whats the point of even asking if its just the honor system that's nonsense. 2.) Once a parent discovers their kid is using a bogus Apple Id they should be able to delete it. Or report it and have Apple delete it.

The birth date is not asked as an "honor" system question. It is a part of the Apple account set up and is a critical factor in authenticating the Apple ID itself. It was never intended as a roadblock to prevent someone from setting up an ID, since there is no feasible way to even do that.

What is the point of deleting them if they are just going to set up a new one as soon as you do?

The answer is that there is no direct way for you to delete an Apple ID. You can contact Apple directly to see if they will do it, but it is not something they do often, so that is not likely the answer either.

Best of luck,
