The applicant brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order finding the child in need of protection and placing the child in extended society care without access.

The parents had a history of substance abuse, domestic violence, and failure to comply with safety plans.

The father consented to the order, while the mother did not file responding materials but attended the hearing, acknowledging her ongoing drug use and inability to parent.

The court found no genuine issue for trial, determining the child was in need of protection and that extended care without access was in the child's best interests to facilitate adoption.

The children's aid society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order to place a four-year-old child in extended society care without access for the purpose of adoption.

The parents opposed the motion, proposing alternative plans of care.

The court applied the principles of summary judgment in the child protection context and found no genuine issue requiring a trial.

The court determined that the parents' plans were not viable due to a history of domestic violence, substance abuse, and failure to utilize offered resources.

The court granted the society's motion, ordering extended care without parental access, but allowed access for the child's half-sister.
