A temporary care and custody motion under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017 involving four children (ages 9, 8, 4, and 1) with a history of exposure to intimate partner violence, non-accidental injury, adult conflict, and caregiver instability.
The court determined that both parents posed risks requiring removal from their sole care.
The older children were placed with the mother under supervision with strict conditions, while the younger children were placed with the paternal grandmother under supervision.
All parties received supervised access with the children, with the mother's partner prohibited from any contact.
The decision emphasizes the need for meaningful behavioral change and compliance with supervision orders before unsupervised access or return of children can be considered.
