Child protection proceedings in which a children's aid society brought a motion for summary judgment declaring several children in need of protection and seeking their return to the mother under a supervision order.
The evidence demonstrated extensive past concerns including exposure to domestic violence, substance abuse, neglect of medical and hygiene needs, and inappropriate discipline.
The mother consented to a finding of protection and supervision, while another responding party opposed the motion and requested a trial or placement of one child in his care.
The court held that the evidence overwhelmingly established the children were in need of protection and that no genuine issue requiring a trial existed.
Applying the statutory requirement to consider the least disruptive measures, the court ordered the children returned to the mother under supervision.
