You need to check the laws in your jurisdiction but most have a procedure for the court to take custody of a "child in need of services" (CHINS) who has been determined to be incorrigible and will not obey their parents. The court will place that child in foster care. You should visit your local juvenile court and ask to speak with an advocate.
