That term isn't usually used anymore...minors who are in these types of situations are usually referred to as "dependent" or "unruly".
If the court/children services authorities feel that your girlfriend's parents are unable to care for her and control her behavior, it is possible that she might be placed in a foster home or other setting.
Your girlfriend has a lot more control over this situation than she might think...if she does what she is "supposed" to do and follows the court's expectations, she will more than likely be allowed to remain in her home.

A wayward child is one who does not conform to the rules of her home. You would need to check with the courts on their policy of having this child removed.

As for the rest of your questions, I suggest that your girlfriend speak with someone who has legal experience to determine what types of decisions can be made about her..
