<human>: Hello reddit. I need information about this as quickly as possible.
My friend is 16
So, my friend is a nice kid. He is in advanced classes in school.
Once he told me that his parents are techniclally, assholes.
He said that when he was in elementary, the whole class were flying kites at the park I think, but he couldn't fly it even if he tried really hard. So her mom pushed him to the ground, and picked him up by his hair, and then pushe him again. In front of his friends and classmates.
Also this other time ( 2 weeks ago) he was failing 3 classes from a law program thing. And his dad beat'd him up and then, his dad told him to take off his clothes, except for underwear, and walk outside In the yard. His dad took a hose and started splashing him like if he was an animal.
These are just two of the things they do to him, but he said he is scared of doing anything.
So what is needed to an emancipation? Or I am also willing to tell my parents to addopt him, what would be needed? 
If it helps, is in Texas.
So please, I would really appreciate it. 
Thank you.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: My friend's parents treat my 16 year old friend like shit. What would he need to do to get emancipated? Or what I and my dad would need to do to addopt him?
