This is a summary judgment motion arising from a status review application under the Child and Family Services Act concerning a child born in 2012.
The Society sought to make the child a Crown ward with no access to the parents.
The mother was in default and had abandoned the child after only thirteen days of placement in her care.
The father sought placement of the child in his care subject to supervision.
The court found that the father lacked parenting ability and commitment to care for the child independently, had not visited the child since she was taken into care in October 2014, and had a long history of parenting deficiencies.
The court granted the Society's motion and made the child a Crown ward with no access to either parent.
