The Catholic Children's Aid Society of Toronto brought a motion to vary an existing access order, seeking unsupervised access for V.F. with his children S.F. and L.F. The motion was supported by V.F. and the mother (T.M.) but opposed by W.O. (father of other children with T.M.) and the Office of the Children’s Lawyer.
The court reviewed expert assessments regarding V.F.'s risk as a convicted child pornography offender and the mother's protective capacity.
The motion was dismissed, as the court found the Society had not met its onus to demonstrate that unsupervised access was in the children's best interests, citing concerns about the untested nature of the evidence, inconsistencies in V.F.'s disclosures, and the mother's lack of insight into the risks.
