I have an 11 year old who wanted so much to keep in touch with family in another state with email. I set her up an account with another provider a couple of years ago but no matter how hard I tried, I could never prevent inappropriate email from getting through. I had to stop letting her use it. I started using Gmail many months ago and noticed that I never got ONE unsolicited email. Not one. I decided that it would be safe to set her up with an account and it's worked perfectly. I've really pushed it as an option for the kids in our family and they absolutely love it...
