A summary judgment motion brought by the Children's Aid Society seeking Crown wardship orders for two children with special needs (autism spectrum disorder and ADHD) who had been apprehended after their mother left them at a police station with a suicide note.
The mother opposed the motion and sought dismissal.
The court found no genuine issue for trial regarding the children's continuing need for protection or the appropriate disposition.
The court granted Crown wardship orders, finding that the mother had failed to demonstrate meaningful change in her parenting capacity or acceptance of responsibility for the children's trauma, despite some efforts at self-education.
The court denied the mother access to the children but permitted sibling access and contact between the children and their sister who was caring for one of them.
