Ive been through this one a lot. And actually live in NYS.
If you want to you can file an emergency custody order, and then also file for a petition of custody. This will allow him to stay with you until the courts have reviewed the case and the situation, and then allow you to gain custody should the parents give it up.
Outside of court, you can go to the parent(s) and request that they sign a paper placing the child in your care, or even relinquishing him to your custody. It needs to include things like the right to provide medical treatment, or cross a certain state line for basic needs (We do our shopping in bennington, so we cross that state line regularly). This allows you to legally have him live in your home.
He has the right to file a petition for emancipation with family court. He has a lot of rights inside the state, but the second he runs away, gets into trouble, or crosses state lines he becomes a juvenile delinquent and can be placed into the PINS program should his parents refuse to take him back or provide what he needs. This means he has a record for the rest of his life.
Your best bet is going to be contacting the parents and having them sign a paper that allows him to live with you. If you cannot contact them you will HAVE to report him to CPS, or else you can be charged with aiding and abetting an endangered minor (been THERE before too, not fun).
If you want better direction call your local family court office, or even children and family services. They can give you the best course of action.

No. they are able to even with the shown fact that, kick her out of the living house, they don't could desire to strengthen her or her infant. so as that they are able to make existence extremely not undemanding for her, and that they are able to legally refuse to enable her have an epidural or discomfort drugs for the period of hard paintings and transport.

Look up Orange County's laws online by doing a search. I'm afraid if you aren't a relative, there probably isn't much you can do for him...other than offer to support him.
He's not legally an adult, but can become emancipated. You might try that route.
