The sync frequency isn't a problem. It sounds like there's some
process (or some person) who's repeatedly trying to log into your
father's account with the wrong password. After a certain number of
failed attempts, Google will require a CAPTCHA to log in. Spanning
Sync catches this condition though, and will show a dialog with the
CAPTCHA and ask you to solve it.

Do you have anything else syncing with your father's account? I
suggest making sure everything that does is doing so with the right
username/password.

Thanks,
Charlie
