There are definitely lots of good reasons for leaving PCs on, even for home users (overnight downloads, etc) but I'm not sure why the OP's daughter needs to.

Don't get me wrong I've left my wireless AP unprotected many times and never had anyone use it. Chances are pretty low, as they have to be physically close, i.e. a neighbour or someone parked out the front of your house.
