FLush out the engine oil. Add engine oil and diesel 4/1 ratio. Start it for 3 minutes then flush out. Fill with engine oil and start back up again. If there is any kind of compiuter problem get comuter diagnostic and fix problems.
Was it running okay before she added the antifreeze? She added it to the overflow/reservoir, yes? BTW I see a very large number of complaints about 200s having a stall problem - may want to join 200forums.com or Consumer Affairs or Lemonlaw.com to see what this is about.

Have it towed and get an oil and filter change !! Since the coolant is heaver than the oil, Coolant will be the first thing to come out ( Picture oil and vinegar in a glass jar setting awhile ) Personally I cringe at the thought of starting a an engine with any mixture of Kerosene or diesel in it of course antifreeze is worse
