What or how can she get her daughter from the state of Georgia, is the restraining order good in the state of Georgia?

First, she needs a lawyer. She shouldn't trust her daughter's safety to her own legal wits--or lack thereforeof.
She needs to file for an emergency pickup order if the father has violated a court order, such as a visitaion order, or if the father has permanently moved the child from the state. The pickup order should be good in Georgia, even if issued by a Florida judge.
Her "restraining order," if obtained in Florida, is not good in Georgia.
