Have a look here - http://messenger.msn.co.uk/Help/LearnMore.aspx

The link above seems to imply that you can set it so that only her contacts
can
send messages to her, which you can also do in MSN Messenger itself.
However,
this is set at MSN level, rather than in Messenger, so it should be more
difficult to turn off. It may even be set by default if it knows she's only
9.
