The Children's Aid Society sought a finding that the child, W.M.J.C., was in need of protection under sections 37(2)(b)(ii) and 37(2)(g) of the Child and Family Services Act, and an order of Crown Wardship for adoption.
The mother opposed, seeking the child's return under supervision or an extension of Society wardship.
The court found the child in need of protection due to the mother's continued lack of insight into her parenting deficiencies and the significant risk of future emotional harm, despite some improvements in the home environment.
The mother's plan for care was deemed not viable, and the father was uncooperative.
The court dismissed the mother's request for an extension and ordered Crown Wardship for adoption, finding it to be in the child's best interests.
