But then the child/teenager, if they know about keychain they could check it and find the key. Unless there is a way to prevent them from seeing it.
Speaking of keychain, can you recommend me a good public domain keychain framework? I currently wrote my own and on some computers, the keychain didn't work, the only thing they all had in common was 1password.

With you current scheme, if anyone breaks your 'common' key, everyone will be able to circumvent your parental protection.
