I see nothing obviously wrong with these lines.
While logged in with your daughters account does the output of the
groups command show her as member of sudo and admin?
Have you checked the permissions of the /etc/sudoers file? My debian
machine shows
# ls -l sudoers
-r--r----- 1 root root 787 2015-02-05 11:53 sudoers
Is there anything of interest in the /var/log/auth.log?
