C:\Documents and Settings\<Name Here>\My Documents\My Chat Logs

That too depends on what directory has been set in the preferences:

Plus! > Preferences > Conversations > Chat Logging > Store Logs in: ...

No, they are not stored somewhere if you haven't enabled the logging options. If they were, it would make the option to disable logging useless...



So, if neither types of logging have been enabled, then I'm afraid you can't retrieve any 'comments' or previous chats on your own.

The next best thing you can do is actually contacting Microsoft via the abuse link you'll find in the main menu in Windows Live Messenger:

Help > Report abuse

But they will not give you information just like that, if they even are able to (because I seriously doubt they store billions of chats each day on there servers).

Then you can also contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and explain the situation. It might be possible that they could retrieve the internet traffic (and thus also the data from and to your daughter's Messenger). But those chances are again slim though, and they would most likely never give such information without a police investigation if they even have it (because doing that without an investigation would be illegal in many parts of the world).
