The Children's Aid Society brought a protection application regarding two children.
The older child disclosed sexual abuse by the mother's new partner, and the mother failed to protect the child, eventually resuming her relationship with the abuser.
The children were placed in the temporary care of their paternal grandparents.
At trial, the court found the children in need of protection.
The father sought custody but had moved to a new city with a partner who had seven children recovering from severe trauma, and the older child refused contact with him.
The court granted a final custody order to the paternal grandparents under section 102 of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, finding it in the children's best interests, and ordered a structured access schedule for the parents.
