A temporary care and custody motion under Part III of the Child and Family Services Act concerning a child with significant medical and developmental needs.
The child was apprehended from the mother's care due to substance abuse and neglect.
The maternal grandmother sought placement of the child in her care, subject to society supervision, or alternatively, expanded unsupervised access.
The court found that the society met its onus to establish that the child's best interests required remaining in the care and custody of the society.
The court dismissed the maternal grandmother's application, finding concerns regarding her ability to follow court orders and society directions, protect the child from the mother, and meet the child's complex medical and developmental needs.
