870 Express Compact Jr. is the best deal. Can be had with laminate or synthetic stocks. 20 ga. of course. 21" barrel has sporting look but riot gun length with choke tubes AND ability to add slug barrel if desired. A cable lock through the loading and ejection ports will work (although any security can be defeated) and the whole gun could be thus locked to an eye bolt in the wall. Such can be installed so that it would be easier to cut the cable than remove the bolt. Training for the kids is mandatory.
Single shots will do, if you have to. Dittos doubles. Doesn't sound like she has skills or desire to train to use handgun. Might get her a can of 20 ft wasp spray in the interim. I am not pleased with the Mossberg and while I like the Ithaca "better" the HD version is less flexible/adaptable.
