Modern computers usually have the installation media on a hidden partition (recovery partition).  One is normally supposed to transfer this media to an external device/flash drive to preserve it should anything happen to the hard drive itself.  If you do not have the installation media, you can likely request it from Samsung or download it from the website.  You may have to bite the bullet and take it to either Geek Squad or one of the certified Samsung service centers.  Since this is user error, there may be a charge.

Kids will always find a way into things, mine do the same and usually end up asking for colouring pages for kids right after causing chaos.
