The mother appealed a final order placing her 12-year-old child in the extended care of the children's aid society with access at the society's discretion.
The mother argued the trial judge misapprehended evidence, provided insufficient reasons, misapplied the law, and erred in relying on a parenting capacity assessment.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding errors in the trial judge's assessment of the mother's mental health and behaviour, which posed a risk to the child.
On consent, the access order was varied to provide the mother with supervised access at least once a week in accordance with the child's wishes.
