Booting the alternate OS will bypass device parental controls.
Same concept as kids who carry linux distros on thumbdrives. Reboot box from the thumbdrive, do whatever and go wherever you want and no one is the wiser.

Which is why on my network I have the DNS setup the way I do. On my network you can only use the DNS I tell you you can use and most kids can't get around that. I also have an actual enterprise class content filtering device in place too but that's just part of my home lab (being that I do this sort of thing for a living and all...).
Frankly if my kid is smart enough to do what you just described - I've done my job. His access to porn is now my biggest concern instead of my concern for him being able to get a job.
For most home networks I believe what I described would work very well. Again, if you're kid can boot from a linux thumb drive that has a TOR VPN preconfigured on it and then can do DNS lookups through that tunnel then it won't help. But if you're kid can do that it's unlikely you can do anything to stop them anyway.
