User level: Level 1 (4 points)Why can anyone put accessibilities features on some elses phone without having to prove the disability of the person they are caring for and have the right to do so. There should be security for the victims of someone who wants to harm instead helping them.

You are not required to have a disability in order to use the Accessibility features, some just prefer them such as a larger text size or alternate touch controls.

Not clear what you are referring to here. Your phone is protected with the Passcode so no one else is able to access it to change the Accessibility Settings. If you are giving someone access to your phone with the Passcode, you should be much more concerned about access to data on the device, than the ability to change Accessibility Settings.
Maybe with a little more information it will be clear what harm you are referring to and how this other person is changing their Accessibility Settings.
