There is nothing stolen there.
She may have entered wrong password continuously thus the iPhone is disabled.(this is very normal for iPhones)
Restoring or updating resets the password.
But be aware that an iCloud verification may be required upon restoring/updating.
Goodluck

Xiaomi has cloud lock too. You can't reset factory settings on my REDMI NOTE 7 without putting the mi account password. You can't use another sim other than my sim without putting the mi password. Accessing my mi account on another device will disable, track or wipe the device(s) linked with my mi account if I so wished.
This is 2020 bro.

Your mum probably punched the wrong passwords many times...
You'll have to sign in the icloud account on another iphone, locate the iPhone 8 then lock and unlock it remotely (you can also wope the phone if you wish).
If you have a system download iTunes, make sure you're connected to the internet and then plug the phone & follow the steps that prompts.

lol I don't steal but if I ever steal your redmi I'll do magic wiping and changing imei for you, you can't track it, this is what makes androids generally cheap ass phones cos if it gets stolen just pray the thief is is not that smart or you set money to buy new one

I'm an android app programmer so I know what I'm saying
Wipe with my bootloader locked? You need my phone connected to an internet connection and mi cloud password verified to wipe,erase or format my phone when you prompt it. After reset, erasure or formating, you will still need the cloud lock password to complete the boot process. This is 2020, it is a snapdragon processor not some cheap wack ass mtk devices you can change the imei number with mtk engineering tools and mobile Uncle. Mi cloud isn't some simple 4 digit phone lock you can easily bypass if your bootloader is unlocked and your phone isn't mi cloud locked, any rookie can do this.

You won't want to give your self the headache of changing a Snapdragon SOC IMEI and all this will be possible if only the bootloader was already unlocked

lol some of the tools you mentioned were used back in 2015/2016 with crap android kit kat 4.4 then, this one is not the one they do with app but editing the OS itself and many complex stuff ..you can wipe android without touching it or using those button flash method, I respect iphone sha ..they perfected what they started

I'm not arguing anyway the feauture on that redmi might be okay but it's android and as a developer the hacks are too much, even pass windows to be honest

Bro stop saying wat you don't know. Most Xiaomi Phones are Snapdragon and you can't change an locked bootloader imel, you can't even flash without unlocking bootloader. Let's say you enter Edl mode, Xiaomi will ask you for ur mi account after booting up, this time, it must be administrators account to bypass. This is 2020 not 2010
