If the abuse is extreme and you feel the child's wellbeing is threatened, call the local authorities who will investigate the matter. If the child is taken from the home due to unsafe environment you might be able to serve as a foster home. If the parental rights are revoked at the end of foster living you might be able to adopt the child.

So to answer the question: Yes, you can but not without a legal process of the parental rights being removed. There are criteria involved that must be met. In most cases you cannot just hire an attorney, seek custody of the child and become their adoptive parent.

What do you do if youre abused at home and nobody will listen?

First contact the police. From there, you should contact your state's department of child and family services if you are a child or if there is a child being abused in the home. If you are an adult and there are no children in the home, you can start with a local domestic violence project if you need help getting out. Or you can just leave.
