What can and will a school counselor do if a child reports abuse.?

If a 13 year old child would go to her school counselor and tell them that her dad had abused her what would happen next if anything? The child is now livening with me her mother and wants noting to do with her dad. She has no proof about what she told the counselor just her words. She also informed the counselor that she would get so upset with her dad she would cut herself. The counselor has seen the fathers temper first hand and had called the police on him herself after seeing him push and grab me in the school parking lot. We live in the state of Pennsylvania
