The Children's Aid Society brought an interim motion to change the placement of two children subject to a supervision order during a status review application.
The court applied the test under section 64(8) of the Child and Family Services Act, which presumes that a child shall remain in the care of the person having charge unless the child's best interests require a change.
The court found that the mother's cognitive limitations, psychological denial, inability to create a stable home environment, and the children's significant behavioral and developmental needs clearly outweighed their short-term interest in continuity of care.
The court granted the motion and ordered the children removed from parental care, adjourning the matter for an expedited trial.
