Transfer parental control to another parent

I am a step father and need to transfer the parental supervision controls to my step son's father. I have googled this for weeks looking for any advice or answers on how to accomplish this. it seems that it simply isn't coded in to the quest parental supervision settings. This shouldn't be this difficult. Both parents use Meta and the only has one account, which was created for the sole purpose of using the Oculus that he got last Christmas.

My suggestion to the engineers is:

  1. Set up a portal site where I could send an invitation via Facebook or the Meta App to the other parent
  2. Parent 2 accepts the invitation linking him as a second parent
  3. Once this is confirmed by both parents and Meta I could be removed from the child's account

I have a working knowledge of software engineering and it seems simple enough for something like this to be accomplished. Moreover, if it is done correctly this could probably be coded so that two parents could supervise one or more children so that in the even that one parent is unavailable the other parent could approve or deny any request that a child has.

To all parents that are in a similar situation PLEASE interact with this post by leaving comments and concerns so that the popularity of this post get the attention of the engineers that can implement this.  I truly hope that this message can spark a conversation to make something happen. 

 

Thank You for your time,

When I google now, it sounds like Meta has created a way for a child to send a request to another parent so that that parent can have control. The only part they leave out is how the child generates the request. I cannot find that part 

I found a page that claims to be the documentation about how to do this...

https://www.meta.com/help/quest/973948288005209/

 

It does not indicate how to start the process.  the first step it lists is "Your child will receive a notification".

That cannot possibly be the first step... What triggers this notification to be sent?

 

This is frustrating.
