Error adding a 13 year-old child to family

Hello everyone, my son was in my parental control, then he somehow deleted himself and now I can't add him, the problem is that I get an error something went wrong or the ward already has a guardian. I tried adding from two accounts, but it doesn't work, what should I do?

Hi shmiks​ 🙂

Yes, teens(13-17) can end supervision at any time.

They needs to invite you (parent), if they want their account supervised again.

shmiks​  I didn't say  "add" him.

He must send you an invitation from the family center to supervise his account, which you must accept.

Unfortunately, I don't have personal experience with parental supervised accounts and can't help you more.🙁

If not somebody else jumps in here to explain it better than I do, contact Meta support via email, chat or WhatsApp HERE.
