No, a child under the age of 18 in the US does not have legal right to decide where they would like to live. CPS will make a recommendation and the court will issue an order of custody.
If that was the case, there would be a lot of children who still would want to live with their parents who, I take it, have neglected them.
A bit more:
If you are asking if Child Protective Services has a legal right to say where the child should live (meaning which parent), then no, that would be up to a judge. The responsibilities of CPS is to remove a child from a harmful, neglectful, etc. home, but not to say with which parent they have to live with. Only a judge can rule on which parent is the best for the child.
