Family Accts?!

I love this game!!
I play it often on my own Laptop computer, either from home or from public library!
I have three school age children, that are sometimes with me, sometimes not. When they accompany me to the public library, once they finish their homework for school, and all their work is caught up daily, they are allowed to get on the Library Public Computers, and play around with whatever game they find on browser (a lot of child safe browser games), and sometimes I join them (like TankiO).
However, my son has watched me playing Neverwinter a few times, and wants to play!
I've run into trouble a few roadblocks, trying to set it up where he can play!
For one, now they require an email to setup a player acct?? They didn't used to, not that I remember. You could setup your acct without email, being responsible to remember the password as no email means no admin access for you. Not a problem if setup correctly (see TankiOnline).
Trying to setup email, they say my son is too young and I can't set it up without lying about age... if he gets older and chooses to keep his email, his age would not be accurate.
So I say make it feasible, through MY own acct as a regular user, I should be able to setup a Family access, and create different Screen names for each child to use as his own. Linked under my family parent acct, I could see all he does, see what he plays, control what he accesses, and maybe at times, prepurchase amounts he could use for birthdays, Christmas and other gifting times to buy additional games and game content for his own choosing... Maybe these "Family Access" accts, could allow upto so many accessible accts under one family, I do have three kids, and I foresee the other two (daughters) to want to follow their brother.
Can Arc games make Family Accts? Family Access? Etc.?
