Not really. Signing up for an account is so easy, and there's
really no personally identifiable information required, there'd
be no way to track back.
If she's doing it all from a single computer you have control
over, you could install parental monitoring software to see
what's up, but that would only work/help on that one computer.
This article may help in that regard:

Good luck!
Thanks for asking,
