Treatment question

I've been a self-injurer for five years and eating disordered for four. I resently relapsed into cutting again after I stopped for about three months. I've been hospitalized for self-injury twice and never told them about my ED. I relapsed on SI both times. but then again, it was only for a week both times. My question is if I tell someone and ask for residenial treatment (my parents refuse to pay for anything) would/could they get in trouble for not giving me the treatment I need and would/could I be turned over to the custody of the state?

Why do you want residential treatment particularly? And are you worried about being taken into state custody - or are you just asking because that is a possible option?
why do you want to be in hospital?
I think you need to tell the doctors about your ED, dude. You're just dragging out the chance for you to be suitably diagnosed and treated.
