I would definitely not go home it that is what you are going home to. From what you have told me in your PM, there is absolutely no excuse for your patents to put you into an institution.

I think I would weigh my options & my choice of trying to find a place to go to here in San Diego would be where I would go. If they can't find you, your family can't do anything to you. I am not familiar with what kind of help there is for people who aren't US citizens, but I think your school advisors would be definitely able to help you in the situation you are it.

I know it isn't normally right to go against parents, but when they aren't going to do what is best for you, you need to find help for yourself at this point. Don't give up the fight...you don't deserve to be treated the way you have been treated.

I hope you can find some help so you can escape the situation you are in.
