The York Region Children’s Aid Society brought a motion for summary judgment seeking to find two children in need of protection and place them in extended society care with no parental access.
The parents opposed, seeking the children's return.
The court reviewed the extensive history of child protection involvement with the parents, including multiple previous summary judgments concerning their other children, and found overwhelming evidence that the parents had failed to address long-standing concerns regarding their parenting capacity, mental health, and cooperation with services.
The motion was granted, finding the children in need of protection and ordering extended society care with no parental access, while allowing sibling access at the Society's discretion.
