A child cannot petition the court, they need an adult advocate or agency to help. If the child is being abused, neglected, or endangered they should speak with a trusted adult: teacher, friend's parent, relative, etc. They could be helped by Child Protective Services but that may end up with the child being placed in foster care.

No. Absolutely not. If you are a child and are being abused, there is help available for you. I feel for you in your situation, I was also abused as a child and I understand the pain. Please see the Related Links for some places to get help.
If the child is taken from the home and has no relatives/family friends to take them in. If the child is being abused at their home.

No, a social worker does not have the right to make decisions for a foster child without their approval or input. Social workers are required to involve the foster child in decision-making processes and consider their best interests.
