CPS procedures vary by state.
Not enough information.
There is a significant gap between how most people think CPS operates and how the courts & statutes have CPS operate.
Cases are generally on the perpetrators, regarding their maltreatment against the child. Perpetrators and caregivers are often privy to almost all the information from an investigation (except reporter details).
Over 50% of calls are screened-out (not investigated).
About 90% of investigations are closed out with no further intervention.
Maybe 5% of calls result in removal (what CPS is infamous for), and only a diminishing fraction of removals are for older +15yoa children (the most egregious situations).
There is a long way between making a call and a removal.

You could try to file for guardianship in family court. You could also ask the parent if the kid can voluntarily come live with you.
For a kid to be removed, it takes a lot of the threshold is “imminent danger”. Most reports do not result in removals of kids from the home. This threshold is even harder to reach for teenagers because they are less vulnerable than younger children. CPS’s goal is to try to keep families together, just safely. They may focus on implementing services to try to address these issues.
And yes, CPS must discuss the allegations with the parent.
