The Children's Aid Society apprehended five children due to concerns including alleged sexual abuse, drug involvement, and unexplained injuries to one child.
While four children were returned to the mother's care under supervision, the temporary care and custody of one child, N., remained at issue.
The mother moved for N.'s return, which the father opposed due to concerns about supervision, a past grow-op, and the mother's candour.
The Society took no position on N.'s placement.
The court, applying section 51(3) of the CFSA, found no reasonable grounds to believe N. would suffer harm that could not be adequately protected by a supervision order, and ordered N.'s return to the mother and her partner under specific conditions.
