Legal options for a 16 yr old in Canada. Rather urgent...?

Ok so i live in Wisconsin but a year ago my girlfriend moved back to Toronto, Canada with her family. We kept the relationship up and its still going strong but her mother is incredibly violent, when she was here i was able to help her more and everything but since she's been so far away for so long her mom is getting to her. I found out from a friend today that she got beat again today and im just ******* sick of it, she can't take it anymore either. She turned 16 on April 19th. What do i have to do and what are some options to get her out of there and with a friend or me?

You can call child services and see what they can do, but this would bring up a lot of legal repercussions for the mother and you have to make sure your girlfriend is willing to bring her mother to court over this kind of thing. It might be grounds for her to get emancipated from her mother - but shed have to go live with a relative most likely.

Theres really nothing that You can do. You arent her guardian, you arent married and you are in no way responsible for her well being. If anything is going to change in this situation, your girlfriend is going to have to do it - you can be there for her, but you can do this for her. She needs to contact child services and explain the situation, get representation and try to get out of the situation. She should try to call relatives if she has any that may be able to help her.

Call the police or child services on her mother.
