The children's aid society brought a motion for an interim supervision order regarding a child diagnosed with a seizure disorder and developmental delays.
The parents refused to administer recommended anti-convulsant medication, believing instead that the child suffered from an allergy, and treated the seizures with an Epi-pen.
The court found that the parents' refusal to accept the medical diagnosis and administer the recommended treatment created a significant risk of harm to the child.
The court granted the society's motion, placing the child under the interim care of the parents subject to society supervision and conditions requiring them to follow the hospital's medical recommendations.
