The applicant mother filed a complaint under section 120 of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017, alleging the respondent society failed to provide her with an opportunity to be heard and failed to provide reasons for decisions affecting her interests.
The applicant sought to have her 16-year-old son testify as a witness.
The Board denied the request, finding that the section 120 complaint is procedural and focuses solely on the communications between the applicant and the respondent.
The child's evidence was not relevant to the applicant's right to be heard, and the child could bring his own complaint if he chose.
