Application by Chatham-Kent Children's Services regarding five children in need of protection.
The court found that the children were in need of protection due to chronic neglect, physical abuse, parental cognitive limitations, and exposure to domestic conflict.
The mother and father of the two youngest children proposed returning all five children to their care in Quebec, but the court rejected this plan as inadequate and unsafe.
The court ordered that the three oldest children be placed in kinship care or as Crown wards with specified access arrangements, and that the two youngest children be made Crown wards with no parental access to facilitate adoption.
