A temporary care and custody motion under Part V of the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017.
The Children's Aid Society sought to place three children (ages 11, 7, and 4) in its temporary care and custody with discretionary access to their parents.
The mother sought custody or generous parenting time; the father sought joint or sole custody, or alternatively placement with his sister.
The court found reasonable grounds to believe the children would suffer harm if returned to either parent's care and that supervision terms would be inadequate.
The court placed the children in the society's temporary care and custody, with the mother's access fully supervised and the father granted minimum weekly unsupervised visits subject to conditions.
The decision addresses physical abuse allegations, emotional harm, parental emotional dysregulation, and the children's expressed wishes to remain in foster care.
