The Children's Aid Society brought a motion to vary a temporary supervision order to compel a 15-year-old child to attend a special education program daily.
The child had been absent from school for three years due to serious medical conditions involving chronic urination, vomiting, and diarrhea.
The mother opposed the motion, believing home schooling was in the child's best interests.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the requested condition was not proportionate to any increase in risk, was overly intrusive, and was based on untested expert opinion.
The court was also concerned about potential emotional harm to the child if forced to attend school.
