A motion for summary judgment brought by the Catholic Children's Aid Society of Toronto in a child protection application regarding four children.
The applicant sought protection findings under the Child and Family Services Act and a disposition of crown wardship with no access for purposes of adoption.
The respondent parents opposed the motion and sought a trial.
The court found overwhelming evidence of physical and emotional abuse of the children by the parents, including detailed and consistent disclosures by the children to multiple professionals, medical evidence, and psychological assessments diagnosing three of the four children with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The court granted the motion for summary judgment, finding no genuine issue for trial, and made orders for crown wardship without access to the parents.
