A summary judgment motion brought by the Children's Aid Society of Toronto seeking a finding that two children were in need of protection and should be made Crown wards for adoption purposes.
The respondent mother opposed the motion; the respondent father did not file material.
The court found no genuine issue for trial on the protection findings or the disposition.
The children had been in temporary Society care for over 23 and 21 months respectively following apprehension due to a home invasion.
The court found the children at risk due to the father's involvement in a lifestyle associated with street-level violence and the mother's history of domestic violence, untreated mental health issues including depression and self-harm, and unstable living circumstances.
The mother's plan lacked detail and corroborative evidence.
The father presented no viable plan.
The court ordered both children to be made Crown wards.
