I think you’re being a little naive…

Circumventing parental controls that “couldn’t be circumvented” is what I did as a child that led to me being a computer programmer

No, they literally can’t be bypassed unless they figure out the passcode. Parental controls on iOS are part of the OS, not like the easily bypassed software you would install on a computer.
