The society brought a motion for temporary care and custody of a 5-month-old child.
The mother sought the child's return or, alternatively, expanded access and transportation costs.
The court found reasonable grounds to believe the child would suffer harm if returned to the mother, citing her inability to meet the child's needs consistently at a supportive maternity home.
The child was placed in the society's temporary care.
The court ordered a mix of supervised and unsupervised access for the mother and held it had jurisdiction under s. 94(8) of the CYFSA to order the society to contribute to her transportation costs, ordering the society to fund one visit per week.
