Is it possible to somehow reset an ipod touch from a distance?

I had done some traveling recently and gave my old ipod touch to a friend. However it was a rushed situation and I was not able to do everything I should have before handing it over. Long story short, it is still connected to me and my account. I can see the pictures they take, as well as the things they search for on the internet. It is getting to be a hassle, and I want to be done with this. I have asked them to reset the ipod, and they have been saying they will do it for well over a month now.

If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
