Legal Question in Family Law in New York

My brother is 17 years old. He's living with our mother currently. However as of 2 months ago, she never paid her electric bill and the power has been shut off. There's no food in the house, and the house is in shambles. What do I have to do to get custody of him and provide him with a stable home life? Also he's diabetic and the no food situation scares the living day lights out of me. Please help. We're in New York state.
