depending on where you live, she can leave.

if not, she can get married.

or a domestic partnership.

or she can get pregnant...

I know it's not great help, but they are the only things I know of that are legal.

She needs to call the Domestic Help Line
or At leats the Police.
Theyll Discuss the options she has towards moving out.

If she's still classed as a minor she needs to confide in someone she trusts who can get her help or child care services or the police. And I wouldn't suggest that living with someone or being pregnant or getting married as an option.
