you haven't provided any information about your relationship to the child. if the child is in imminent danger, make a report to the department of children and families in your county and they will investigate. if you are just curious about what someone can do themselves in such a situation, use the "find a lawyer" function on this website to make an appointment with an experienced family law attorney to discuss your concerns and possible courses of action.

Your question is impossible to answer without a lot more information. If the child is truly in danger, then call the child abuse hotline. Other than that, your best bet is to consult with a lawyer (most give free initial consultation) who can get all the facts and give you advice.

The best thing a parent can do in this situation is to hire an experienced family law attorney and explain the entire situation to them.
