So then the kids will just use a VPN

Yup, ProtonVPN is free, and there are covert ways to purchase other VPNs (i.e. cash in an envelope).

All this would do is make it much harder for their parents to figure out what their kids are doing. If they can access it w/o a VPN, a regular internet logger can help inform parents of their traffic.
