Asked in Juvenile Law for Louisiana

Q: What would the police do if I was to move out a month before i turn 18 years old? Would they send me back home?

(Louisiana)My dad is very mentally, emotionally, and verbally abusive. He is manipulative, and a narcissist. He doesn't take care of himself. I cook his meals every day, i wash his clothes, and clean his house cause he is too lazy. The house is falling apart, I don't think it will even last another year. There is mold all over in the house and the ceilings are falling apart. He yells all the time, he blames everything on me, he attempted to hit me a few times, he threw clothes baskets at me, he throws things, and alot more. My mother moved out cause he was physically abusive towards but she left me with him, I don't know why. He won't let me talk to anyone, not even my own family, not even my mom and my siblings. He wont let me go anywheres, only to the store. I have to take care of his responsiblites cause he "can't" do it which he knows he can but just too lazy.
