Are you using the Gmail web interface? If so you should check a few
locations in the account settings. Click on the "Settings" link in
the upper right hand corner of the page after logging in to Gmail. On
the settings page, click on the "Forwarding and POP" link. The first
entry on this page will show if your messages are being forwarded.
Click the radio button labeled "Disable forwarding." After doing so,
click on "Save changes."

Next, you'll want to follow the "Filters" link also found in the
account settings. You'll need to need to check each one to see if it
is forwarding to your daughter's email address. If you find one that
is forwarding, you can Edit the filter to turn off the forwarding or
Delete the filter altogether.

Finally, follow the "Accounts" link in the account settings. The next
to last item in on this page is "Google Account settings." Follow the
link in this section to change you password.
