Ok, these are incoming issues.  Personally I run 2 systems with spam 
assisan and I still get regualar messages, so I do see your point.

My wife and I don't have kids yet, thou we do have brothers and sisters 
with kids ranging from 2 to 8 with another one on the way at present... 
  so yes, I fully understand you can't sit a 6 yr old down.

Can she be restricted to using the email client?

Could we just modifiy an email client for you?
