The one way to test out the theory is process of elimination.  You can
borrow a friend's monitor and test it out.  If you get a different result
the problem is with the monitor.  My guess is that the child may have played
with the actual controls on the monitor itself.  Play around with the knobs
or other monitor settings (you may have to hit a button on the monitor that
brings up a bunch of different setup options.  You may just need to adjust
the tint.  If that doesn't work, then it's most likely time for a new
monitor.
Good luck
