Your daughter is a minor and has few rights on her own, but you, as her mother can file for custody of your daughter or if there is physical violence, you could seek a Protection from Abuse order on her behalf. You may also want to consider getting your local Child Protective Services involved. You should consult a family law attorney in your area to determine the best way to proceed.
