There are legal remedies to this - you can file for emancipation. But if you are only 3 months away from turning 18 it's a waste of time. Grin and bear it for 3 more months, and at 18 you can leave home with no penalty - you will lgeally be an adult.
Until the child's 18th birthday, she is a minor and under control of her parents. It does not matter how close she is, if she is a minor, she is a minor. If the parents allow her to live elsewhere, that is fine. If they want her home, she has to go.
If she feels that she is abused, she can contact the state's child protective services department (usually called DFACS or CPS) an report the abuse. A case worker will then be assigned who will evaluate whether the situation is safe for the minor, or if she needs to be removed and placed in alternate custody.
