I sincerely hope you never have to deal with it.

Anyway, since I requested info on locking down a system and not parenting advice or commentary on parenting skills (which seems to have taken over the thread) I will take the few actual tips and pass them along.

Since there's very little that can actually be done to really secure a computer from anyone tech-savy, a few actual tips is all you're gonna get. And since you got the answers you were seeking, why the whining about the side topic?

Family computer management and parenting go hand-in-hand.

You're an active participant on this board and are probably pretty familiar with how easily threads can branch onto tangents. To expect otherwise is foolhardy.
