    Answer:

    If you are being physically abused, you need to call the police (911) and Child Protective Services at 1-800-767-2445.  You can also contact the Children's Law Center on-line.

    If there is any other family members or friends' families you can stay with, have them contact the Children's Law Center at 602-258-3434 x 266.

    To answer your question about living on your own, see the Law for Kids section on Emancipation

    Note that you have to be at least 16 years old to be emancipated.
