The Society brought a protection application regarding two children after discovering their mother's home in a state of severe disarray with accessible drugs and paraphernalia.
The court found the children in need of protection under s. 74(2)(b)(i) of the CYFSA due to the mother's opioid use disorder and the hazardous state of the home.
The court ordered the children placed in the father's care for four months subject to Society supervision.
Recognizing the mother's recent progress in engaging with relapse prevention services, the court ordered a schedule of gradually increasing, unsupervised access for the mother, culminating in equal shared parenting time.
