The Children's Aid Society of Toronto brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order to make four children crown wards.
The children had been in care since November 2010 following the arrest of the mother and her boyfriend on charges of assault with a weapon.
The mother opposed the motion, arguing there remained a genuine issue for trial and time to address protection concerns.
The court found no genuine issue for trial, concluding the mother's parenting deficits were deeply entrenched, she had failed to engage in meaningful remediation over 15 months, and there was no realistic likelihood she could address the serious protection concerns within the remaining statutory timeframe.
The court granted the motion and ordered the children to be made crown wards.
