The 50 pounds should be plenty to function and she can start with negatives. Use both hands to close, then one hand to slowly open. There are other products out there, but you might be interested in those also.
I have small hands and recommend Kahr pistols for grips that fit small hands. Their T9 is a full size single stack. I have a lot of problems finding pistols that fit well.

Just make sure you pull them all the way back and let go instead of riding the slide back into battery.
As to it being teens. Teens have been responsible for some of the most disturbing crimes in history. I've seen the results of some disturbed teens first hand. Are they knocking on all the doors in your neighborhood or just yours?
If no kids, maybe. A few people a year die because they are locked in by double key dead bolts during a fire. I was at a real estate seminar where it was claimed several states actually have laws against double key deadbolts, although most were rental specific.Double-key deadbolts.
