The society brought a child protection application and place of safety motion regarding three children of a refugee family.
The parents were arrested for assault and assault with a weapon after the eldest child disclosed physical discipline.
The parents were released on criminal undertakings prohibiting contact with the eldest child.
The court found that the criminal release terms encumbered its ability to make a least intrusive family court order under the CYFSA.
The court adjourned the motion to be addressed contemporaneously with the criminal charges to allow for a potential variation of the undertakings.
