When a child is removed from their home, the first choice for placement should be:

relatives house
foster care
non-relative
non-custodial parent

The correct answer is: non-custodial parent

The first choice for placement should be the non-custodial parent because it provides a familiar and stable environment for the child. Relatives house (option A) may not always be a suitable option, as there may be existing conflicts or issues within the family. Foster care (option B) can often be traumatic for children, as they are placed with unfamiliar families. Non-relative placement (option C) is also not ideal, as these individuals may not have a strong connection to the child. Overall, non-custodial parents should be prioritized for placement as they are a known and trusted figure in the child's life.
