The employer is allowed to manage devices on its own network, generally to enforce security policies that they may put in place. It’s not at all the parent that Apple is concerned about, it’s the app developer, or anyone who can hack the app developer. If a parent was using this feature to manage their in-home devices directly, Apple would have no problem with it at all. An app developer cannot masquerade as your employer to back door your iPhone and control things on it which third-party apps are generally prohibited from controlling.
