The Children's Aid Society sought a temporary care and custody order for two young children following their apprehension.
The mother opposed the application and sought dismissal or alternative placements with herself or her mother.
The father sought placement with himself or his mother.
The court applied the two-part test under section 51(3) of the Child and Family Services Act and found reasonable grounds to believe the children would suffer harm if returned to either parent and that they could not be adequately protected by supervision orders.
The court placed the children in the temporary care of the society with supervised access to the mother and no access to the father pending further order.
