A child protection application by the Windsor-Essex Children's Aid Society seeking Crown wardship without access for a child with significant developmental delays and special needs.
The mother, who has cognitive limitations and intellectual disability, sought to have the child placed in her care subject to supervision.
The court found the child in need of protection and determined that Crown wardship was in the child's best interests, rejecting the mother's plan as inadequate given the child's sophisticated parenting needs and the mother's demonstrated inability to engage with services and retain parenting skills despite multiple opportunities and support.
