A child protection application under Part III of the Child and Family Services Act concerning a child apprehended on June 5, 2015 from the mother on grounds of risk of physical and emotional harm.
The Society sought a three-month wardship order.
The trial addressed whether the child was in need of protection at the time of apprehension, with the disposition already agreed upon.
The court found the child was in need of protection based on the mother's untreated mental health concerns, paranoid ideation, lack of adequate supervision, and emotional instability.
The child has since been returned to the mother's care under a voluntary services agreement with conditions, and no further court order was required.
