This is a Status Review application by the Children's Aid Society of Toronto concerning two children, AR (14) and AY (7).
The Society sought an order placing the children in the custody of their maternal aunt and uncle, with no access for the father and a restraining order against him.
The father, M.J., initially sought the children's return or liberal access, then proposed a further 6-month supervision order.
The court found an ongoing need for protection due to the father's incarceration (charged with the mother's murder), untreated mental health issues, history of family violence, and alcohol abuse.
Considering the children's consistent wishes to remain with their aunt and uncle and have no contact with their father, and the aunt and uncle's ability to meet the children's needs and provide stability, the court granted the Society's requested orders.
