This is a child protection motion under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act involving four children and two separate applications.
Application No. 1 concerns three non-Indigenous boys (G., P., and C.) with parents A.W. and M.P. who had a joint custody order.
Application No. 2 concerns an infant (B.) with mother A.W. and father J.S., a member of Batchewana First Nation.
The society sought temporary care and custody of all children.
The court found reasonable grounds for risk of harm based on domestic violence, excessive alcohol consumption, and failure to comply with safety agreements involving J.S. However, the court declined to grant full temporary care and custody to the father for the three boys, instead maintaining the existing joint custody arrangement with conditions on the mother's care.
For the infant B., the court placed her with her maternal grandmother pending consent, with supervised paternal access for J.S.
