Close Child Account

Parents and legal guardians of children may close the online Phobits account of a child in their care. Phobits understands that children can be clever and possibly create online accounts without the permission of supervising adults. Also, sometimes an adult may open an account for a child but later decide that is not in the child's best interests to keep the account open. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child, you have the right to close your child's account. A legal guardian includes public officials that have supervisory oversight for a child, such as foster care parents.

To close a child's account, you may simply enter their signed-in account and click on their account and choose to close it. If the account is not signed in, and you do not have the user name and password to sign in, you may request to close the account using the steps outlined below.
