Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

I have a 16 year old son that has been in his mother's custody since birth. He recently contacted me informing me of abuse in the home and asked if he could move in with me when he turned 17 in 7 months. The abuse he is receiving comes from both his mother and his step father. He also informed me that the abuse has gotten worse in the past couple of months. My question is can I legally take him into my home now and get him away from that situation with his mother and step father? No prior custody battle has ever happened. We took DNA tests when he was a baby and she denied to receive child support from me after the results came back 99,99999%.
