The applicant society brought a motion for temporary care and custody of a newborn child with high medical needs.
The parents opposed the motion, seeking the child's return to their care.
The court found substantial risk of harm to the child due to the parents' history of domestic violence, extreme neglect of their four older children, and inability to follow society directions.
The court concluded that no terms of supervision could adequately protect the child and ordered that the child remain in the temporary care of the society.
