The Catholic Children's Aid Society of Hamilton brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order of Crown wardship with no access for an eight-month-old child.
The parents, who both have profound cognitive delays, opposed the motion and sought to have the child returned to their care or placed with the maternal grandparents.
Relying on a previous parenting capacity assessment and current evidence of the parents' inability to safely care for the child, the court found no genuine issue for trial.
The court granted the motion, finding the child in need of protection and ordering Crown wardship with no access for the purpose of adoption.
