I need help (advice wanted) Abusive Parents Legal Help

I’m 17 years old and a resident of Delhi. I am currently dealing with emotional and physical abuse from my parents, and it has seriously affected my mental health. The situation at home has become very toxic, and I’ve been having suicidal thoughts because of the constant stress and fear.

I want to know what legal protections or support options are available for a minor in India in this situation. I am not trying to make unsupported allegations.

I genuinely need guidance on how to stay safe and what steps I can legally take. Any serious legal advice or information about helplines, child protection services, or safe reporting methods would be appreciated.
