Generally, their goal is to keep families together, but if the kids are in eminant danger in their home environment, they don't have too many options.
In the case of this boy and girl, what will most likely happen is that the boy will be required to go into therapy. They will investigate the causes of the boy's behavior as it in itself is indicative of abuse. The will interview all members of his family, including any siblings to be sure no other kids are being abused.
