This is a temporary care hearing under Part III of the Child and Family Services Act concerning three children.
The Children's Aid Society sought placement determination among three competing family plans: the maternal grandmother, the mother, and the father.
The court determined that the maternal grandmother had acquired "charge" of the children through a series of voluntary relinquishments by the parents beginning in March 2015, and that this status was maintained through subsequent kinship and temporary care agreements.
The court found that a supervision order was sufficient to mitigate risk and placed the children with the maternal grandmother subject to supervision terms.
The court also directed the Society to update its Plan of Care to address services for the children and adjourned the matter to permit parties to negotiate terms of parental access.
