Take it to a dealer to have it evaluated and repaired if there is a problem. Otherwise, just don't start it.

+1 if she kept it redlined and heated it up really hot it COULD have blown a head gasket (fairly common on cars that overheat) and if so, you could end up with coolant in your oil and a new short (or long) block in your future.
