No, the child cannot make that choice until they reach the age of majority in the state where they reside (18 at least in all 50 states). However, the child can engage the services of an attorney or a guardian ad litem to petition the court for custody modification, and if the court feels, after a hearing, that it would be in the best interests of the child to re-assign guardianship, such a petition may be granted. Of course, there's always the possibility that the court may find the custodial parent and the child's choice aren't suitable, the child may be remanded to the custody of the state and placed in an agency or foster care until they reach the age of majority. So if you're mad at your parent and wanting to move because of that, you should think carefully about the possible repercussions.

Also you may still want to arrange it with the other legal guardian so they do not call the police.

See related question, but you do not want to complain to family services, as the child will simply be put into foster care, than returned to the custodial parent.

Does one sibling is living with a parent that dies have that sibling more rights than other siblings not living with parent at the time of death?
In general, living arrangements typically do not affect the rights of siblings when a parent dies. The distribution of assets and inheritance is usually determined by the parent's will or state laws, regardless of where the siblings live. Each sibling is entitled to their fair share of the estate according to these established guidelines. Consulting with a probate lawyer can provide specific advice based on the individual circumstances.
