The Society sought Crown wardship with no access for a young child, and a supervision order for an older sibling to remain with his father.
The mother sought the return of the younger child to her care under a supervision order and unsupervised access to the older sibling.
The court found that the Society's apprehensions of the younger child and a newborn sibling were unreasonable, and that the Society failed to properly investigate kinship care options or work cooperatively with the mother.
The court ordered that the younger child be returned to the mother's care under a six-month supervision order and that the older sibling be placed in the joint care of both parents under a supervision order.
