The Children's Aid Society apprehended a newborn child at birth due to concerns about the mother's mental health, history of abusive relationships, and lack of support.
The Society and the father sought an order finding the child in need of protection and placing the child in the joint custody of the father and paternal grandparents.
The mother opposed the order and sought the return of the child.
The court found the child in need of protection due to the risk of physical and emotional harm in the mother's care.
The court concluded that a supervision order would be inadequate and granted joint custody to the father and paternal grandparents, with supervised access for the mother.
