I have built my parental control and safeguarding app and it is now tamper proof which means children cannot uninstall or bypass it.  I have overlayed an educational AI chat bot, provided controls for doom scrolling, provided controls to monitor apps for key words and phrases to immediatly inform parents if their child is having inappropriate discussions.  This is along with the usual screen time, app controls and location tracking.  Imagine my fustration when I applied for more that 500 amapi devices to be told that Google does not see parental controls as a valid business case for amapi.  Why is Google not allowing its technology to be used to address one of the most pressing issues in the world?  I am at a loss as to why when Google has provoided this technology to all major corporations that it is saying it cannot be used by parents?  I have built an MDM explictly for parents and Google is saying it cannot be used.  Does anybody have any idea as to why Google refuses amapi to be used for parental controls.  I have been through their documentation and policies but have not found anything that explictly states it cannot be used.  I may be missing something but I am amazaed that Google cannot see parental controls via amapi as a major breakthrough in allowing parents to control their childs device.
