Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My friend is under 18 years of age and for a time was caring for a little girl from England after it was thought she killed herself. However it turns out she didn't, and after they found out he took the girl without permission, was under age, and that she was not registered under his name they took her back to England. He took the child because all other guardians that could have taken her mother's place was abusive. After returning to her mother the girl was mistreated and then taken back to the US. My friend would like to be her legal guardian or at least regain the right to contact and visit with her. How can he do that?

Where is the girl? If she is on the state, a guardianship can be filed.
