This is a 15-day child protection trial concerning an 11-year-old child (G) who has been subjected to parental conflict, unverified allegations of sexual abuse by the father, and alienation from the paternal family.
The mother made repeated false allegations of sexual abuse against the father beginning in January 2017, which were investigated by police and the Children's Aid Society but never verified.
Despite multiple court orders for access and attempts at reunification therapy, the mother systematically prevented the child from having contact with the father and extended family.
The court found the child to be at risk of emotional harm due to the mother's alienating behaviour, coaching of the child into false allegations, and refusal to cooperate with therapeutic interventions.
The court ordered the child into interim society care for four months, followed by placement with the father under a six-month supervision order, finding that the mother was incapable of meeting the child's emotional and mental needs and would not support a relationship with the father.
