A motion by the Children's Aid Society of the Region of Peel seeking temporary care and custody of a child (D.D.) born in 2012.
The child suffered severe injuries on July 19, 2018, while in the care of the mother, inflicted by the mother's ex-partner.
The Society sought placement with the father under supervision with discretionary access to the mother.
The mother opposed the motion and sought the return of the child to her care.
The court granted the Society's motion, finding that the mother's significant lack of judgment in maintaining a relationship with the perpetrator, combined with historical concerns regarding her mental health and parenting abilities, meant the child could not be adequately protected in her care.
The child was placed in the temporary care and custody of the father subject to the Society's supervision, with access to the mother to remain supervised and at the Society's discretion.
