In cryptocurrency, you are responsible for securing your private keys. That's not anyone else's responsibility. Have the keys been changed or do you still have access to the account? Have you looked through https://steemd.com/@jadabug to see when things changed? Have you checked to ensure the account wasn't connected to something on Steemconnect that may have been compromised? https://app.steemconnect.com/dashboard
A blockchain is forever, so there is no way to remove content from it. This account, if not controlled by your daughter, is not your daughter, so all you can do is create another account that is her and make it clear which one is real and which isn't from the new account.
When you created your account, it was made very clear that you have to maintain and secure your private keys. Blaming others or the network or steemit, inc is not consistent with how things happen on a blockchain. They didn't steal your daughter's account. The key was somehow compromised and that could have happened with any cryptocurrency. I would like to know exactly how the account was hijacked though. Concerns about bots or the economics of the system (which there is discussion going on about changing) has nothing to do with your account being compromised.
I'm sorry the Steem blockchain didn't live up to your expectations. Do you still have your owner key or master key for your daughter's account? If the attackers only have your posting key, then you can maybe still get access to the account. You change the posting key with either the master password or active key.
Owning cryptocurrency is like owning property. IMO, it should be looked after and protected. Checking in on it is important, especially in the cryptocurrency ecosystem where things are changing constantly. If this was noticed sooner, maybe the account recovery system could have avoided this. Letting the account recovery system go beyond 30 days would introduce systemic risks which might put other accounts at risk and is not a good idea, IMO.

Calling the blockchain "a den of thieves" is not an accurate statement. Everyone, again, is responsible for managing their own private keys. If they were compromised, you should figure out how and take steps to avoid that in the future. I've been trying to help people for years understand this stuff with posts and videos like this: https://steemit.com/blockchainfreedom/@lukestokes/understanding-blockchain-freedom-episode-003-safety-and-security
:) going to try another approach...thank you for your time.
