A child protection trial under Part III of the Child and Family Services Act concerning a child apprehended on July 22, 2012.
The Children's Aid Society of Toronto sought a finding that the child was in need of protection and a crown wardship order with no access.
The parents opposed the application and sought return of the child to their care, alternatively with supervision.
The court found the child was in need of protection due to abandonment by the mother, emotional unavailability of the father, exposure to domestic violence, excessive physical discipline, and neglect of the child's physical and emotional needs.
The court made a crown wardship order and granted the child (rather than the parents) a right of access to the parents once monthly for two hours, fully supervised by the society.
