The Catholic Children's Aid Society brought a child protection application regarding a four-year-old child.
The society sought a supervision order placing the child with the mother, while the paternal grandmother and father sought custody.
The court found the child in need of protection based on a risk of emotional harm under s. 74(2)(h) of the CYFSA, stemming from the paternal family's high-conflict and alienating behaviours towards the mother.
The court found no risk of physical harm from the mother.
Concluding that the mother was a capable and loving parent who would foster the child's relationship with the paternal family, the court awarded sole custody to the mother and granted specified parenting time to the father.
