It's not only the right but the duty of a guardian to protect his (minor) charge from harmful mail. So, yes.

US Answer:

It is a violation of federal law to interfere with delivery of mail to the addressee, regardless of any reason, aside from matters of security in incarceration situations or national security. Penaties include a maximum of five years federal imprisonment and up to $250,000.00 fines. If your mail is being interrupted by another, contact the USPS Postal Inspector. If you are the offender, give up the mail and beg forgiveness and mercy.
