C. There is an immediate threat to the child.
D. The child is safe with their relatives.

Emergency removal of a child by CPS happens when there is an immediate threat to their safety, such as abuse or neglect. Factors that suggest safety in the home or with relatives do not warrant such actions. The primary goal is to protect the child's well-being.
