Keep the character on the account because it doesn't do any harm to have it there, but also remind the kid to talk to his parents before he can play.
You're still the good guy, but the problem resolves itself.
Also "Final Fantasy is for girls, Warcraft is for boys" ...Is the dad also 9 years old? Both of these games have the same general demographics if I'm not mistaken. A lot of both genders, with imbalances leaning toward the male side. I can see Final Fantasy having a higher percentage of female players than Warcaft or Warhammer, but not by enough of a staggering amount to have it called "a girl's game." To be honest, it's probably still under or around 50%
He is right though, an MMO is no place for a nine year old child. Seventeen might be a bit much, I started around thirteen, but that was back in the days before WoW blew up and few people knew or cared wtf MMOs were. (Yes I know, EQ and FFXI and RuneScape and whatever garbage were all around before WoW, but it definitely is the biggest factor in the popularity of the genre as a whole.)
