If the parent cannot look after the minor child because of their working hours or their job that may have them traveling out of country, then the minor should report the abuse to Child Aid. Once Child Aid is involved the courts will decide if the other parent would be more suitable for the child to live with or they may decide that child can live with grandparents or other relatives. If this is not possible then the courts will take charge and generally put the minor child in foster care until they are no longer a minor.
