It depends on where you live and how old the child is. Children can be reported for assault, even if they're not charged and arrested. If a history is built up then government services sometimes provide some form of intervention to help guide the child's behaviour. It is in the child's best interest to receive help and support to extinguish the cause of his/her behaviour rather than punisihment. Consider what factors may have brought the situation to what it is and react logically rather than emotionally. I know that can be hard but if the adult doesn't have inner strength to handle the situation then there isn't much hope for the child.
Not for the assault itself. The criminal charge for the assault would go through juvenile court and be charged to the child. However, depending on the circumstances (like the child's age and such) and the law in the state where you are, the parent could be charged with some sort of criminal failure to supervise their child. But, again, that depends on the law in your state and the circumstances. If the child is a teenager, it's unlikely that the parent would be held criminally responsible for anything. However, if the victim of the assault sues in civil court for money damages as a result of the assault, the parent would be sued because minors can't be sued.
IF the minor is being abused they can turn themselves into CPS as the abuse victims and the police and CPS can press charges against them but you cannot go to court and press charges against them on your own. If your worried about it or they are abusing you then you need to tell a trusted adult who can help you (teacher, principal, social worker, psychologist, minister, nurse, dr, etc.). Remember the abuse is NOT your fault. You did not ASK for it (regardless of what they say). There is NO excuse for child abuse. You need to get help for yourself and your family if you are being abused.
No. The child needs an adult advocate with authority to act on behalf of the child. That type of action is usually commenced by the Department of Child Services after a complaint has been made and charges are investigated. A child in that position needs to confide in an adult who they trust- such as a teacher- who can report the situation to the proper authorities.

Can child get taken away from you if you move in with a criminal?
It depends upon the type of charges against them. If the charges are for rape or molestation and you refuse to have them leave the home until the outcome of the charges, then yes they can. I'm not sure if this part of the law would only pertain to the parent of that child or if it would also include a person who has been charged or is guilty of the following crimes. Any crime where one parent kills the other parent (not if it was in self-defense) or the sibling of a child, their parental rights can be terminated.
When writing a parenting plan in a divorce proceeding can teenage children be forced to spend time with a parent that has been found guilty of assault charges against the children?
Most courts these days allow the children to have a voice in custody proceedings. This doesn't mean that a decision will be based on the child's wants, but Judges do listen. If there was a conviction for child abuse, make sure it is on record, and that it is clear that there is a danger to the children if they are forced to be with the other parent.
