Obviously, the child can live in any safe place. However, if her biological parents are not willing to agree for her to live somewhere else, a court case would have to be opened for someone to get conservatorship of the child. If one of the parents will agree that the child can live with a relative, there is a form that a parent could sign to give the other relatives the right to care for the child, enroll the child in school, etc.
