The applicant children's aid society sought child protection orders for two children.
The older child, who had complex behavioural needs and diagnoses of ADHD and depression, experienced significant conflict and emotional abuse from her stepfather, leading to suicidal ideation.
The court found her in need of protection and made her a Crown ward with access to the mother at the society's discretion.
The younger child had historically been subjected to inappropriate discipline, including being locked in his room, but was currently thriving.
The court found the younger child was historically in need of protection but declined to make an ongoing supervision order, allowing him to remain in the mother's care without conditions.
