E.N.H., the sister of the mother (T.R.), brought a motion to be added as a party respondent in a child protection status review application.
E.N.H. sought to claim placement of the two children with her or a custody order, intending to involve the mother in their lives.
The Children's Aid Society, the father (G.R.), and counsel for the children opposed the motion, arguing that E.N.H. was a "stalking horse" for the mother and had adopted the mother's unsubstantiated delusions about the father.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that E.N.H.'s plan did not merit consideration and that adding her as a party was not in the children's best interests, as her beliefs and minimization of past misconduct were problematic.
