Q: 2nd hand iphone

Hi hoping someone can help

I have bought a 2nd hand iPhone from eBay for my nephew, he is only 7 so was not getting a new one lol. My issue is the previous owner has not erased her apple ID from the phone, can this be done from another device without me having to return the phone to her? And without her marking phone as lost/stolen?
