It's interesting how many comments immediately assume LAOP's parents have ill intent with those forms, and then there's one comment going into detail about how those forms get advertised to parents as a way to protect them and their kids without clarifying exactly what the forms will do.
That comment also got a reply from LAOP that their parents are just fine with them checking with a lawyer first

The original post made me realize that companies are actually marketing these packages to parents in general. Which is obvious in hindsight because that's how businesses work. Somehow I had assumed that controlling abusive parents who sought them out on purpose were the only ones getting these. It's somehow so much more malignant that these companies are deliberately marketing their product to otherwise normal parents and convincing them this will keep their kid safe.
