The Children's Aid Society brought a motion for summary judgment in a status review application concerning a child who had been in care for nearly four years following apprehension due to physical and sexual abuse.
The child's mother sought to have the child returned to her care, but was in an ongoing intimate relationship with the man who had previously abused the child.
The court granted the Society's motion and ordered that the child remain in extended society care with access to the mother and siblings, finding that the mother's continued relationship with the abuser presented an ongoing risk to the child and that she had not demonstrated sufficient insight into the protection concerns.
