    If she is truly abused, the first step is to call Child Protective Services in your area.

    If there is abuse going on it needs to be reported, but make sure its abuse and not a cunning ploy to get out of the house. Have you seen this abuse for yourself?

    For you to get custody of her you would need to prove her parents as unfit. The first step to that is to have your local chidrens or family services agency investigate.
