Parental Control Over Which Servers My Child's Account Can Access

Minecraft Bedrock needs to provide a parental control that allows parents to ensure that their children only accesses multiplayer servers that are safe for their children.  The current parental control either allows access to all multiplayer servers, including those with unsafe/harmful to my child, or none.  This also defeats the purpose of parents having a private Realm server that friends and family can use.  Parents must provide their children the ability to access all multiplayer servers, including unsafe ones, in order for their children to play in the parent's private Realm server.  Internet searches reveal comments about this problem on Reddit and other places going back at least a few years.  There are also similar ideas, some with a large number of upvotes, that would be addressed by providing this parental control. This Parental Control and/or something similar may be needed for Java and/or other Minecraft modes as well.  By the way, given the importance of protecting minors, it seems there should be a separate suggestion topic for Parental Controls or at least security/access control.

    Yes please! One of the bedrock dedicated server updates now cause the server i host on my home computer to not show up as a LAN server and can only be accessed by manually inputting the ip into the servers list, but then it remains as a online server, not a LAN server. This is a seperate issue, but since I don't want them joining online servers they can't get into it due to the only parental setting we have being "all or nothing".
