being Mentally abused and was physically abused in the past.

[Guest]

I am 16.
I am being neglected at home, and mentally abused. I used to be physically abused in the past and CPS was called and they did nothing.
I feel unsafe and scared they will start hitting me again. They cant find out I'm reaching out for help or i know I'll be beat.
I have family that knows I want to leave and would gladly take me in, and friends family's that have tried to take me in before.
I dont know where to start because staying here is'nt an option or i might stat hurting myself again.
Please help. I
just need to know how I can move out and ovoid me getting hurt.
