This is a summary judgment motion in a child protection case involving fraternal twins born prematurely in 2016.
The Children's Aid Society of Peel sought a finding that the children were in need of protection under section 74(2)(b)(i) of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act and requested extended care (crown wardship) with no access for adoption purposes.
The respondent mother opposed the motion and sought return of the children to her care.
The court found that the children tested positive for cocaine at birth, the mother had unresolved substance abuse issues, mental health management concerns, and domestic violence issues in her relationships.
The court granted the Society's motion, finding the children in need of protection and placing them in extended care of the Society, while granting supervised access to the mother.
