A motion for summary judgment brought by the Catholic Children's Aid Society of Toronto in a child protection application.
The applicant sought findings that two children (R.A.N.B., age 3, and E.J.B., age 17 months) were in need of protection under sections 37(2)(a) and (b) of the Child and Family Services Act, and a disposition order making them crown wards without access for purposes of adoption.
The respondent parents opposed the motion.
The court found both children in need of protection based on evidence of parental substance abuse, domestic violence, instability, and neglect.
The court granted the motion for summary judgment and ordered crown wardship without access, finding no triable issue existed and that this disposition was in the children's best interests.
