If there is an abusive parent in the home will they be taken to jail?

Well if you are the mother or father, wanting to ask this question. YOU must press charges first.
Most states will not release an abusive father or mother, back to the family if there has been reported abuse and more then once. Sometimes only once, it depends on the state and how much they will tolerate in that state.
If you are the child asking this question. You may not have any right to press charges against your father or mother for that matter. But they may take you out of the home. Permanently and find you a relative or family member or friend you can stay with until it is sorted out in court. In most states by the way depends on the laws.
You will not be returned.
If you are over the age of 12 years old in most states, you have the right to state where you want to be.
In some states you can leave from the ages of 13-17 years of age to a friends and/or relatives and never return home. Your parents cannot come out after you either.
Why? It is the law. IN most states. Not all most states though.
I know this from experience. The child leaves for even a friends house and the parents come after the child to bring back home if that child does not want to return and you try to forcibly bring the child back home, the police can and will be called out and the parents can and will be arrested.

Technically it could be a day before some action is taken if appropriate reasons aren't given. But action for a small amount of time will be minor, e.g. a phone call home. It would take a considerable amount of time before the parent(s)/carer(s) are taken to court and put in jail.
