In the US the minor will be made a ward of the state and placed in the custody of juvenile authoritie to await a hearing where the judge will decide what should be done. Rarely will a "friend of the family" be granted custodial rights to a minor child, the child is usually placed with the closest family member who is willing and qualified to accept custodial rights. If there is no such person the court will accept custody suits by non relatives, but it is the responsibility of the requesting party to provide his or her own legal counsel. The best option is for the party wishing to gain custody of the minor child should consult with an attorney on the matter, as state laws differ in procedures, most attorneys offer free or minimal fee consultation.
