The Society brought a summary judgment motion seeking a finding that the child was in need of protection and an order placing the child in extended society care.
The mother opposed the motion, seeking the child's return or access, while the father consented to the protection finding but opposed the disposition and access orders.
The court found the child in need of protection due to the mother's substance abuse and the father's unresolved anger and mental health issues.
The court ordered the child placed in extended society care, granted the mother access at the Society's discretion, and directed a trial on the issue of the father's access.
