The Children's Aid Society sought a finding that two young children were in need of protection and should be placed in extended society care with no access to the parents.
The parents had a history of child protection involvement, including the death of one child from malnutrition and the severe malnourishment of another child.
The parents sought the return of the children under a supervision order or placement with a kin caregiver, and requested access if extended care was ordered.
The court found the children in need of protection due to the parents' failure to acknowledge past medical neglect and their rigid adherence to religious beliefs that put the children at risk.
The court ordered extended society care with no access, finding that the parents' mistrust of medical professionals and the society would impair the children's future opportunities for adoption.
