A child protection case involving a four-month-old infant who suffered severe traumatic head injuries including subdural hemorrhaging, retinal hemorrhages, and brain damage.
The child was hospitalized after the father called an ambulance on October 2, 2015.
The Children's Aid Society sought a finding that both children were in need of protection under the Child and Family Services Act.
The parents disputed the cause of injury, with the father's expert suggesting a chronic medical condition (subdural hygroma) with spontaneous rebleeding, while the Society's expert concluded the injuries resulted from traumatic head trauma inflicted or inadequately protected against by the parents.
The court accepted the Society's expert evidence and found both children in need of protection.
