The answer will probably vary somewhat depending on where you are located, but the basic answer is "probably not." Sad to say, but the sort of neglect you're describing isn't usually grounds for social services to move in. Is it abusive? Well, probably. Is what you've described a terrible thing? Sure, it's terrible. It's also not terribly uncommon.

Aside from anything else, your parents may not have had any idea whatsoever what to do for you. Denial is a powerful urge for most people.

Your college may have programs set up to help studetns in situations similar to yours. Most colleges have some sort of counseling center where you can get some help -- although it's certainly not like psychotherapy, so don't expect that. They will have community resources, though.

Good luck.
