17M, I have physical and emotional abuse at home, not sure what to do

Hey, so I’m gonna be extremely straightforward, I’m a 17 year old guy, with parents who physically and emotionally abuse me, I don’t want “revenge” or consequences for them, I just want piece… I’m thinking about contacting child services and living at my schools dormitory instead of with them. I’m not even sure why I’m on this specific subreddit or what’s the point or replies I’d like to hear. I just wanna know what other people think I should do because I’m so lost rn I have no idea and I’m extremely conflicted. If I should give a few examples of their behavior then I’d say this:

When I lightly pushed my dad because he kept yelling at me and being aggressive, he threw me to the ground and beat me with his fists. After that, he said he could report me to the police for assault.

He slapped me and yelled at me that I’m a junkie and the biggest mistake of his life.

My mom told me I’m a stupid piece of shit, that she hates me, and that she never thought she would stop loving me.

When I said I wanted to kill myself, they told me they don’t give a shit and that I can go ahead and slit my wrists or jump out of a window if I want.

When I said I don’t want to live under the same roof with them and would rather sleep on the street, they said that’s fine, and that if some junkie or homeless person stabs me or I freeze somewhere, they don’t give a damn and maybe they’re finally get to chill out a little.

Since around age 12, I haven’t experienced or even heard in any form that they care about me, love me, or appreciate me.

And for example today my dad told me he feels like kicking in and stomping the shit out of my face.
