The Family & Children’s Services of St. Thomas and Elgin brought a motion to continue an interim order placing a child in temporary care, while the respondent mother cross-moved for the child's return.
The court found reasonable grounds to believe a risk of harm existed due to the mother's mental health challenges but determined the child could be adequately protected by a supervision order.
The court dismissed the Society's motion to continue the placement and granted the mother's cross-motion, ordering the child's return to her care under specific supervision conditions.
