 enter  an  order  of  protection  against  any respondent for good cause
 shown. The order may require that the respondent: (a) stay away from the
 home, school, business or place of employment  of  the  victims  of  the
 alleged  offense; or (b) refrain from harassing, intimidating, threaten-
 ing or otherwise interfering with the victim or victims of  the  alleged
 offense  and  such  members of the family or household of such victim or
 victims as shall be specifically named by the court in  such  order;  or
 (c)  refrain  from intentionally injuring or killing, without justifica-
 tion, any companion animal the respondent knows to be owned,  possessed,
 leased,  kept  or  held  by the person protected by the order or a minor
 child residing in such person's household; OR (D) REFRAIN FROM  REMOTELY
