Yes, of course. However, if I'm not mistaken, each Mastodon server instance creates their own policies regarding what other servers can tweet to their users. So it would be trivial for any Mastodon server to "ban" Twitter use

I think your "diagnoses" (are you a medical professional?) of emotional abuse - along with the grandmother's diagnosis of sociopathy - are on very shaky ground. The girl may just have a temper. Many children outgrow this.
