Crown wardship without access was ordered due to the mother's refusal to cooperate with professionals.
A child protection trial under Part III of the Child and Family Services Act concerning a four-year-old child with Down's syndrome.
The Catholic Children's Aid Society sought a finding that the child was in need of protection and a Crown wardship order without access for adoption purposes.
The mother opposed the application and sought dismissal or, alternatively, return of the child to her care without supervision.
The court found the child in need of protection due to the mother's failure to adequately care for and supervise the child, including her resistance to accepting the child's Down's syndrome diagnosis, her failure to cooperate with service providers, her inappropriate expectations of the child, and her pattern of suspending and resuming access to the child.
The court made a Crown wardship order without access.
The court placed three children into the society's temporary care due to the mother's repeated breaches of supervision orders.
This is a temporary care and custody motion under the Child and Family Services Act concerning three children.
The Children's Aid Society sought to place the children in its care, citing concerns regarding parental neglect, exposure to domestic violence, unsafe transportation practices, unsupervised medication use, and the mother's repeated breaches of a temporary supervision order.
The mother opposed the motion, arguing that she had begun to address her issues through counselling and parenting programs and that supervision orders would be sufficient.
The court found that the society had proven reasonable grounds to believe the children were at risk of physical harm and that supervision orders could not adequately protect them.
The court ordered the children placed in the care of the society with access to both parents at the society's discretion, minimum twice weekly.
