    You should try to contact Apple; hey might be of assistance. You can always re-install the iPad using a computer, however. Keep in mind that doing so will cause any data on the iPad to be lost; this is where creating a backup will come in handy.

    Ever since iOS 12, Restrictions was entirely replaced with Screen Time. Read the guide carefully, it will tell you about enabling Screen Time and blocking the websites there.
