Report? BF forces 15yo to operate a vehicle under duress

15 yo does not have a driving permit, car was operated in a small apartment complex parking lot, with active traffic.

Child has previous car accident trauma as a passenger. They have expressed disinterest in obtaining a driving permit or attending drivers ed on these grounds, although they are eligible for both.

Child independently stated they didn’t want to do it, but BF made them feel like they didn’t have a choice. While child was illegally operating the vehicle, BF engaged in verbal aggression towards other drivers by yelling out the child’s windows. The child became distressed and stopped the vehicle. Child was distraught for over an hour from this incident.

No one was physically harmed, does this justify a report to CPS?
