A status review application under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act concerning a child found in need of protection.
The Catholic Children's Aid Society sought a final order of extended society care without access to the mother to facilitate adoption.
The mother sought return of the child under a supervision order or, alternatively, access.
The court found that the mother repeatedly breached supervision orders by maintaining contact with her biological father, a registered sex offender with a history of child sexual abuse.
Despite opportunities to address the risk through counselling and support services, the mother demonstrated poor judgment, lack of credibility, and inability to comply with court-ordered conditions.
The court granted extended society care but permitted limited access through cards and letters with the child as the access holder.
