If it's been hi-jacked, you're llikely better off to start
a new account. Making sure she changes her password
frequently may also be a good idea to prevent people from
getting into her account. You can also send an email to
and let them know which account has been
hacked into and that they are sending improper messages
from it.

Good Luck
