I don't think the police will take you to juvie for running away from an abusive household.
Do you live in America? Child abuse is taken very seriously in many western cultures. If they do call the police, and the police do find you, get some time to talk to them about how your parents treat you, and that you don't want to go back to that place.
You really need to get out of there though. It isn't illegal to run away from home - it's not really a home to you anyway. You can leave them a note to tell them why you left. If they call the police then they will be in a lot more trouble than you.
If you still feel frightened about leaving, you can look through the phone book for an anonymous helpline to call. They can answer questions for you far better than I can, they will also be able to give you numbers of organisations that are there to support you in exactly this situation. - This is probably a good start so you can clear up doubts you have.
I hope that you find the strength to get out of this soon.
Good luck again, and please inform me of how it's going.
