She ask for our help and we want to help her by letting her stay at the house and put her to school but i am afraid i'll get in trouble or lose her. what can i do ?

If you want to be her guardian/parent then you must file papers in the court to be her guardian. Otherwise she would be a ward of the state in foster care in this situation.
Please consult a local attorney in your area prior to taking legal action. Good luck.
